Collection: Notion Jewellery - Caroline Hendry-Smith

Growing up in the countryside instilled in Caroline a strong passion for nature, which now finds expression in her woodland jewellery. She has always been creative, building a successful career in digital TV graphic design, but yearned to create a physical product. The catalyst for making the leap came when she decided to attend a contemporary jewellery class with her son in 2016, after he returned from travelling in India with ideas for a jewellery business. Slowly, her work evolved a botanical theme as her skills developed, eventually becoming the business it is today.

Inspired by the Chiltern Countryside, Caroline creates woodland-themed jewellery from recycled gold and silver with ethically sourced gemstones. Crafted in her well-equipped garden studio, she captures the wonderful textures and details found in nature through direct impressions of leaves, seeds, and twigs. Her oak leaf and acorn range is all created from moulds taken from one oak tree in a small hamlet just outside Tring.
