Another reason to be obsessed with eyes?
They hold a mystery that we can't quite fathom, they speak of things we don't yet know but are seeking to find 👁️

Eyes tell a tale. As we keep learning and keep growing, keep being excited by life the light in our eyes stays bright and vibrant.
When we become disallusioned with life (or more likely when s**t just happens like it does!) our eyes often tell the world before we even form the words.
They're magical things those eyes of ours 👁️

🌛🌝🌜It's so hard to see products properly in Reels sometimes as they go scrolling past! So here's some close ups of the different versions of my new Moon Phase Earrings.

Any questions drop me a message, or for a closer look they're on my website, right on the front page 😊

🌙Loving these shots of me stamping out my Moon Phases that caught 📸

Stamping them out by eye isn't actually as easy as you might think I've discovered 😵‍💫 but don't worry, all mistakes just get melted down and made into new jewellery 👩🏻‍🏭

By this point I've already melted, rolled, hammered, annealed and polished the silver, once the Moon Phases are soldered onto jump rings to hang from the chain they'll all be repolished back up again ✨

As always, handcrafted by me using recycled sterling silver 💚

If you've got a second I need some help naming this little Sun stud for my website! 🌞 It's like he's smiling but really lazily and I can't decide what to call him.

My little step daughter Livvy thinks Sulky Sun, I think he looks kinda Sleepy.
Any other ideas out there? Please vote on my potential and dubious options on Instagram 😆or drop any other probably better ideas in the comments!

👩🏻‍🏭Another successful workshop completed!

Had a brilliant time with Claire, she wanted to make a spinner ring which was a challenge in a half-day workshop but of course we managed it! 💪🔥

The great thing about 1-2-1 workshops is that you get to choose your design!
You can do a fair amount in a half-day workshop, although most jewellery designs that require stone setting would need a bit longer to teach (which is always possible!)

A half day workshop is currently £85, this includes using upto 7grams of recycled sterling silver (925 silver)
Any extra silver pupils use you just pay raw cost price so it's not expensive at all.

It's a great opportunity to learn a new skill, learn how to use smithing tools, do something both fun and challenging and make something memorable for yourself or someone you love, you'll shape the metal itself so aaaall that work and love stays with that piece of jewellery forever, I love this element of it⚒️💙

✨One of my Guiding North Stars made for a March babe set with a sparkling blue Aquamarine birthstone💙
(March baby's are the best after all 😉😆)

If you love my North Stars but you'd like one with a different gemstone just drop me a message, if I can help then I always will 😊

💛🤍Well what a bloody beautiful pair of people these two are to make wedding rings for😍

I'll show some making details in a Reel as it's really special, the gold ring is from her relatives old 18ct wedding rings with a white Sapphire taken out of an old family engagement ring.

The silver ring is made from a sterling silver coin, he's still got the other half of it as I only needed to melt down part of it to make the ring!

Thank you Heather and Juan for trusting me to make something so special to you ❤️

✨Happy 2024 to all my WONDERFUL customers without whom Broken Compass Jewellery could not exist!

Thank you for your support on social media and through your orders with me, thank you for your lovely messages on my posts and in my DMs, thank you for believing in my abilities and for all the people who trusted me to make them special commissions in 2023! 💜

☕I go outside with my coffee every morning and speak to the sky and the universe to tell them what I'm grateful for, but saying the words isn't enough, I feel that gratitude deep in my gut, and you've no idea how many times I well up and am overwhelmed by emotion when I think of my customers and my business.

👩🏻‍🏭It's not just a business for me, it's a life, it's not just work for me, it's a goal, an achievement, an aching desire and a purpose all in one.

If I could wish anything for anyone it'd be to find purpose in what you do every day.

I spent a long time feeling empty and looking for something that brought me here, where I have something to wake up for and be both excited and a little bit scared of every day!

So if you're in that same place now then I wish 2024 brings you whatever new beginnings you may need to find your purpose, and if you're already there then I wish you the strength to continue, because even when you love it as much as I do, it's DAMN bloody hard sometimes to keep moving forward! 🖤🔥😊

👩🏻‍🏭Variety is the spice of life and all that!

I love magical moons, stars and crazy beautiful gemstones.
But I'll never stop enjoying making my dreamy boho feathers from my Daydream Catcher collection too.
This 1st photo was an order for a matching set I sent out last week, every feather is made by hand so always slightly unique 😍

All jewellery is available on my website (except the last necklace, not sure how that one snuck in this post!) just tap the link in my bio to get there 👆

🌙🏔️Look at the beautiful design Ashley came up with in our 1-2-1 workshop!

I had so much fun teaching her, she was hungry to learn & already adores jewellery so much💍

We just about managed to make this in half a day which I'm starting at £80 for 4 hrs to make a fairly simple design & learn a bunch of silversmithing skills along the way!

I'm aware for 1-2-1 coaching that's very competitive (most workshops have 4+ people in them), but I'm eager to teach people a skill I love so much so that's how I'd like to start out for now!

This will go on my website and there will be an option to buy it as a gift for someone and we can arrange the date after purchase!

However if you're interested beforehand please just drop me a message😊💙
(my workshop is close to Canterbury/Dover/Folkestone areas)

⚡The mad flash of Labradorite!...this is the same piece in every photo, it just looks different in different lights, like crazy different sometimes!

You don't get to enjoy that flashy iridescent colour without occasionally having a little bit of the dark side too😉☯️

⚡There's a bit of true lightning bolt colour for you 😍
No filters ever needed with gemstones like this!

I totally understand why everyone loves blue flash Labradorite, I do too, but sometimes the yellows and the greens suit a design like this even better! 💛

All Labradorite bolts are double sided and this one has a light blue side too, swipe to check it out👀

Available on my website, just tap the link in my bio to get there 👆or drop me a message with any questions ⚡😊
