About
My name is Chloe and I am the face behind Cherish. I have been making jewellery for around 18 years but have loved jewellery for as long as I can remember. I can recall being young and noticing peoples jewellery when I talked to them, wondering what the pieces meant to them and where they got them from.
I first started making jewellery when I was travelling in New Zealand, wire wrapping stones and putting them on leather cords, to my surprise I sold enough to cover my costs and buy Christmas presents that year!
Cherish began around 2020 after I found a plant with heart shaped leaves under a tree near my home in Devon. I picked a leaf and knew it would make a great piece of jewellery. I had prior to this done a few courses and been making jewellery for myself and my mum but I harboured this hope that one day other people would like my pieces enough to wear them too.
In the last few years I became very unwell with chronic illness and was unable to make (or do) anything for a couple of years. Thankfully I have nurtured enough wellness and healing to begin making again, so Cherish rises like a phoenix alongside me, giving me immense joy.
