From Sketch to Keepsake: The Handmade Journey of La Lune Jewellery
by Shannon McMaster on Mar 14, 2025

Every piece of jewellery tells a story, but at La Lune, the story begins long before it reaches you. Behind every ring, pendant, and charm is a journey of artistry, craftsmanship, and intention. Handmade jewellery isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about the care, dedication, and skill that go into creating something truly special. Here’s how our jewellery is made, from the first spark of inspiration to the moment it becomes yours.
Step 1: The Inspiration & Design Process
It all begins with an idea. Whether inspired by nature, personal stories, or sentimental moments, each La Lune design is carefully sketched and refined to bring out its unique character. Our goal is to create jewellery that resonates, pieces that hold meaning, spark emotion, and become lifelong keepsakes.
Step 2: Selecting Sustainable Materials
We are committed to sustainability, which is why we use recycled sterling silver, gold vermeil, and solid 9ct gold in our jewellery. By choosing responsibly sourced materials, we create beautiful pieces that minimise environmental impact while ensuring quality and longevity.
Step 3: The Craftsmanship Behind Every Piece
Unlike mass-produced jewellery, which is often created using machines, every La Lune piece is handcrafted by skilled artisans. Each step from sawing and shaping to soldering and polishing is done with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that no two pieces are ever identical. The result? A piece of jewellery that carries the mark of true craftsmanship.
Step 4: Personalisation & Engraving
Many La Lune pieces offer customisation, allowing you to engrave initials, dates, or even handwritten messages. This personal touch transforms jewellery into a meaningful keepsake, capturing special moments in a tangible way. Our Art Collection and Fingerprint Jewellery are perfect examples of how we bring your personal stories to life.
Step 5: The Finishing Touches
Once the jewellery is formed, it undergoes a careful finishing process. Each piece is polished by hand, checked for quality, and refined to perfection. Whether it’s a smooth, high-shine surface or an organic, textured finish, we ensure that every piece meets the highest standards before it leaves our studio.
Step 6: Packaging with Meaning
We believe that the unboxing experience should be just as special as the jewellery inside. That’s why every La Lune piece is carefully packaged in eco-friendly materials, complete with a handwritten note because every detail matters when it comes to creating something meaningful.
More Than Jewellery - A Lasting Connection
When you choose a La Lune piece, you’re not just buying jewellery, you’re investing in a piece of art, a memory, and a connection to something truly special. Handmade with heart, designed for connection, and crafted to be cherished forever.
