I am so very proud to say that I was asked by the Suffolk Horse Society to design and make a range of jewellery for them to sell to raise funds to continue the good works carried out to help promote and save this critically endangered heavy horse breed. The Suffolk Punch horse is an enigma, such a strong and powerful animal, yet with such gentleness and patience, you can’t help but fall in love with them!! I should know, I used to look after and show Suffolk’s for a living before I became a jeweller (in another lifetime many moons ago!!) and I have a home bred Suffolk filly who I adore! The design shows a harnessed and braided Punch with the motto and the Society’s initials, I have in the range a tie pin, brooch, and cuff links on chain or swivel fittings, and I have made them chunky and solid just like the horses themselves! Everything is limited edition (I have 100 pieces i.e. if I sell only cuff links there will be 50 pairs!) and they are made to order with delivery taking approximately 2-3 weeks, they are available directly from me either by placing an order on my website or by phoning the shop on 01728602116. ALL profits from the sale of these items will be donated to the Suffolk Horse Society expressly to help with breeding grants to stallion and mare owners who dedicate themselves to saving this wonderful rare breed so very close to my heart!

I hope that everyone is keeping well and staying safe during these unprecedented times. I don’t really know what to put in this post if I’m honest. I guess I just want to thank all those working on behalf of all of us, all the absolute heroes of the NHS, everyone working in all the care professions and all those staffing the shops able to remain open, not to mention all the farmers and their staff who work tirelessly to provide food for the table! Today marks two weeks of being closed, and I am sure we will be closed for a good while longer sadly. I am so grateful and blessed to have my lovely little shop, I have truly cherished members of staff who I count myself lucky to work with, and loyal valued customers that have supported me over the years and become friends along the way. Reading this back to myself it strikes me as a little sombre!! I don’t feel that way. While this is scary and very nerve wracking, I am positive that when we all come out the other side of this we will be stronger both as individuals and as a community. That’s my prayer anyway! Stay safe everyone, and watch out for more updates and products that I will be uploading soon!! Jackey x

I have taken the difficult decision to close the shop until further notice because of the COVID19 virus. The health and wellbeing of my lovely customers and wonderful staff is the most important thing at the moment, and hopefully if everyone pulls together and follows the government guidelines correctly we will bring about a return to normality all the sooner. I would like to thank everyone for your understanding at what is a sad time, but please rest assured that I will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so. In the meantime, I will be checking messages daily so if you have a repair with us or any queries please do leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I am also happy to change batteries if you put the watch in a protective envelope with your name and telephone number on it and drop it through the letterbox, and I can drop them back to you if you are in Saxmundham and the surrounding villages by arrangement. Also, if you need a gift or something special please leave me a message and I will call and we can arrange something! I hope to see you all very soon when all this madness is over, look after yourself and others, love Jackey x

Not to make light of the current situation, but it’s driving Womble to drink! In these uncertain and challenging times, we would like to assure our lovely customers that we are doing everything possible to ensure everybody’s safety and health. We have hand sanitiser available in the shop, the handles, surfaces and card machine are cleaned regularly and we wash hands after each interaction. None of us know what lies ahead, but until we are told otherwise we shall be open as normal for all your jewellery requirements, the workshop will remain open to deal with repairs and bespoke orders, and you can still get your watch batteries fitted as normal! Stay safe everyone, and look after each other.

Don’t forget it’s Mothering Sunday on 22nd March, give her a call, send her a card, let her know she’s loved! We have lots of lovely gifts to show you care, pretty silver pendants, bracelets, rings and earrings staring from a few pounds that will do the deed without breaking the bank! Pictured here are a few of the tempting choices available, all with a touch of gold to add some zing to Spring!

Tragically last year a lovely lady lost her beloved husband to the wickedness that is cancer. She had decided that she wanted something with his fingerprint on it to wear always, and eventually decided on a bracelet. We had to make something robust that would stand the test of time, yet not make the bracelet itself look masculine despite this robustness. Her biggest worry though was that the fingerprint was actually his, as she had heard that some online companies say that is what you are getting when it is just any random fingerprint. With our “Keepsake” range were able to guarantee everything and put her mind at rest, and it was wrapped for her to open on Christmas Day. Not a dry eye in the house!!

This is a silver keyring with a difference! You may have noticed that before Christmas I had posted some information on a new range we have started supplying called The Keepsake Collection? This collection allows you to capture a baby’s footprint, a son’s fingerprint, a dogs pawprint, a daughter’s first doodle, to be able to write a note to someone special, and to have them all immortalised on a piece of jewellery. Or on this occasion, a keyring! This particular one I gave to my Mum for Christmas, I managed to secretly get a scan of my Dad’s signature from an old passport which went on one side, and I had found some of his writing from which we were able to make up the sentence “I love you” for the other side. Have you got something you want to immortalise? We can help!
