Our Story

Kirstie Le Marque was founded in 2017, shaped by a long-standing love of vintage and antique jewellery and the thrill of uncovering something special. The kind of pieces found at the bottom of a jewellery box or in a market stall, worn and full of character, where the appeal is as much about how it feels as how it looks.

The earliest designs were made using antique and vintage beads that Kirstie collected over time, reworked into handcrafted jewellery. These pieces were small, tactile, and shaped by curiosity rather than any grand plan. It was through this process of making that a turning point emerged, pairing these handcrafted pieces with pavé-set diamond beads and charms suddenly brought something extra, a contrast that felt unexpected, but instantly right. A small experiment that became one of those light bulb moments and it was from that spark, that the direction of Kirstie Le Marque began to take shape.

The designs now centre on pavé-set diamond charms and pendants in sterling silver, finished with darker rhodium tones to soften the shine and allow the diamonds to catch the light in a more understated way. Gold-plated details are introduced alongside the silver, creating a mixed-metal aesthetic that feels collected rather than matched, as though pieces have been gathered over time.

Lived and loved without ceremony, pieces that don’t demand occasion or status but slip naturally into everyday life and gather meaning over time.

How it’s worn

At Kirstie Le Marque, diamonds are treated as the emotional heart of each piece, worn for their feeling rather than their shine. This approach reflects the way vintage jewellery is often worn: layered, personal, and slightly imperfect. Nothing feels overly polished or precious. Instead, each piece carries a sense of ease, designed to be worn daily, lived in, and returned to again and again.

The meaning at the heart of Kirstie Le Marque is the belief that jewellery should feel meaningful without being formal. Everyday jewellery that still holds weight, charms and pendants that feel personal, instinctive, and quietly treasured.

Each design is intentionally open-ended. Rather than telling a fixed story, the jewellery is made to slip naturally into the life of its wearer to be collected, worn and layered. Like the best vintage finds, the pieces feel as though they already have a past, and are ready to take on a new one.

Ultimately, Kirstie Le Marque is about making the charm and individuality of vintage jewellery easier to find, modern pieces that feel as though they’ve been discovered in a treasure box, rather than bought new.

Production and Materials

Materials are chosen for each design individually, guided by form, function, and longevity. Some pieces are solid and others are finished with gold, however all are made to be worn, cared for, and kept.

Each piece is thoughtfully made using precious materials and pavé-set diamonds, designed to be durable, wearable, and lived in every day.

Where possible, recycled silver is used, alongside responsibly and ethically sourced diamonds.
