Not Everything You Feel Needs a Diagnosis
You sit down at the end of the day, and from a purely external perspective, nothing is demanding your attention anymore. The tasks have been completed, the environment has quietened, and there is no immediate requirement to respond, decide, or act. Yet internally, the system does not mirror this change. Attention continues to move, thoughts remain active,...
The Psychology of Scent
Scent is often treated as decorative. A pleasant addition, a finishing touch, or a background detail. From a psychological perspective, scent is far from a background detail. It actively influences how we feel, remember, and focus. Among all the senses, smell has one of the most direct pathways to the brain’s emotional and memory systems. It bypasses...
Handcrafted 18k Gold Necklace
A handcrafted 18k gold necklace that begins with emerald but can also be made with diamond, ruby, sapphire, aquamarine or another gemstone chosen by the client. Created in London by Lena Cohen Jewellery, this design reflects a more personal way to buy fine jewellery, where the wearer can help shape the final piece rather than simply pick from a standard...
Made in London Not Just Designed in London
In fine jewellery, wording matters more than it sometimes seems. “Designed in London” and “made in London” may sound close, but they do not mean the same thing. One may describe where an idea was developed, refined, or branded. The other speaks about where the piece itself was physically made. That distinction matters. A lot of jewellery language...

Im new here
This isn’t so much a blog post as it is an introduction — a simple hello. Just over year ago, I made the decision to hand in my notice as a Producer on a popular podcast and go back to my first love of creating. It was something I had considered for a while, but never felt quite brave enough to make the jump. After I did my art foundation back in...
Bespoke or made to order ring in London
It’s easy to get stuck on the labels when you’re looking for a ring in London. Bespoke, made to order, custom made. They can sound like the same thing, but they don’t always mean the same process, and that’s usually what people are really trying to avoid: surprises with time, cost, or expectations. Bespoke is a ring designed from the ground up around...
Diamond Studs What to Look For When Buying
Diamond studs are the ultimate everyday piece: light, comfortable, and quietly polished with everything from denim to tailoring and eveningwear. The “best” size is rarely about chasing carat weight. It is about proportion, balance on your lobe, and how you actually live. SIZE GUIDE: WHAT SIZE DIAMOND STUDS ARE BEST? Use this quick guide per ear for...

6 daily actions to spark a positive mindset

They’re taking charge of their lives, crafting lifestyles aligned with their values and goals and steering clear of external pressures. For instance, they tailor their lifestyle to embrace intentional living,...
Learning the art of upcycling furniture
One of the most common things people tell us is that they love the idea of upcycling but feel unsure about where to begin. Tools, prep, paint choices, and finishes can all feel overwhelming at first. That is exactly why we started offering upcycling workshops and one to one sessions. We wanted to create a relaxed, welcoming space where people can learn...
Why craft fairs?
The UK is without doubt one of the most creative and diverse places on Earth.
The talent of makers and artists needs a release, a channel that allows both new and experienced people the chance to market and sell their work. They also need to network with their peers to exchange ideas and experiences. The craft fair can be that channel. It challenges people, it inspires and motivates people to do better and more.
Supporting your local craft fairs as a visitor and purchaser, helps to grow the community and encourage further creative, social and community wealth.
