Greetings from Abruzzo, Italy. Bueno sera. The weather here is mild like a summer, but the nights are still a little chilly, we are enjoying our cosy November nights in our apartment in Ortona, finding our feet in this quaint town, we can hear the waves crashing against the shore at night. It is truly magical.

I can see the stars so clearly in the night sky.
Day 3 of #MyNovemberTakeover features a post from Sophie-May Designs, unique jewellery fit for a goddess…
Amazonite Woman…
Based in East Devon, I design and make meaningful, minimalist jewellery based on what I call the Three Pillars; Jewellery that Motivates, Inspires and Empowers women who want to wear jewellery that has real meaning whilst at the same time makes them feel great.
I take inspiration from the world around me, along with tuning into my emotions and creativity. I love creating one-of-a-kind and commission pieces; making a piece of jewellery that reflects an individual is my favourite kind of creating. I pride myself on excellent customer service and making my jewellery all about my customers.
My Story
Born in Ipswich, Suffolk, I moved to Devon in 2000 where I attended university to become a primary school teacher. Surrounded by beaches and beautiful countryside I knew this was where I was meant to be.
My jewellery making journey started when I was in primary school. I would make and sell seed bead rings and friendship bracelets to friends for 2p. The love of expressing myself through jewellery has never left.
Sophie-May Designs is named after my daughter Sophie-May, whom we sadly lost when I was five months pregnant in 2016. Shortly after, I commissioned a custom necklace made from sterling silver to commemorate her.
Having previously made jewellery using less fine materials, it was then that I knew that I was destined to make the change to sterling silver and semi-precious gemstones; making jewellery that had meaning and gave the wearer the strength they needed to help them keep going, even when times are tough.
The Three Pillars
Motivational Pillar
The Motivational Pillar of jewellery has been created with the busy, working mum in mind who has one thousand and one things to do at once. Who wants jewellery that makes her feel good, as well as it having a special meaning behind it, making it more than just another piece of jewellery.
Inspirational Pillar
Jewellery under the Inspirational Pillar has been designed to make women feel more confident in themselves and the choices they make. The jewellery adds style to outfits whilst the gemstones offer their unique properties and qualities.
Empowering Pillar
The Empowering Pillar of jewellery has been carefully designed to make women feel empowered, confident and their best self in everyday life. Wearing a piece of jewellery from this Pillar to helps women feel unstoppable and unbeatable.
