The Story Behind Punky Funky Jewellery — How It All Began

Creative workspace of Punky Funky Jewellery – a handmade jewellery studio in Somerset. Tools, laptop and stamping hammers on the desk capture the behind-the-scenes process.

Every handmade business has its own story — and mine started at the kitchen table, with a few metal blanks, a set of letter stamps, and a love for creating something truly personal.

Punky Funky Jewellery began as a small idea that grew from my passion for meaningful, thoughtful gifts. I’ve always loved the kind of presents that make people smile — the ones with a name, a date, or a little message that says “this was made just for you.”

What started as a hobby soon became a creative outlet, then a full-time business. From my little home studio in Somerset, I now handcraft personalised jewellery, keyrings and prints — each one made to order, one letter at a time.

What Makes Punky Funky Jewellery Unique

Every piece in my shop has a story behind it — whether it’s a keyring celebrating a new baby, a necklace with family names, or a gift to say “thank you” to a teacher. I hand-stamp each letter individually, meaning no two designs are ever quite the same. Those tiny variations are part of what make them special.

I use lightweight, hypoallergenic aluminium for most of my jewellery and keyrings — a durable metal that doesn’t tarnish and is comfortable to wear every day. Every order is made with care and finished by hand, ready to be wrapped and gifted to someone special.

Building a Business from the Heart

Running a handmade business isn’t just about creating products — it’s about connection. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to make keepsakes for weddings, anniversaries, memorial gifts, and all kinds of milestones.

Hearing from customers who’ve given one of my pieces as a special gift — and seeing how much it means to them — is what keeps me inspired. Each message, photo and review reminds me why I started: to help people give something that truly matters.
