About MeThank you for visiting my shop! My name is Jacky and Jupiter Rocks is my baby - well one of them (I am the mother of six!) I often get asked why 'Jupiter Rocks'? The short version of the story is - Drops of Jupiter, one of my favourite songs by Train, which became Jupiter Drops which then evolved into Jupiter Rocks, as I am also a qualified horary astrologer who happens to love rock music - there is method in the madness somewhere and whilst it has no connection to jewellery whatsoever and doesn't help with SEO in anyway, I don't care because I like it! :o) Back to business! My little empire came about after being made redundant from the Civil Service after 21 years in 2008 I decided to turn my hobbies into cash and voila, it led me here! I like to create jewellery that is individual and personal to the wearer, something that will be kept and treasured, have a special meaning and maybe become a family heirloom one day. It is a simple style of jewellery with a look that will suit anyone from youngsters to Grandma's and anyone in between. Every piece of silver used is cut by hand, sanded and polished, the lettering is hand stamped into the silver using metal punches, oxidised so the lettering stands out and then polished again in a tumbler to harden it. Everything except the silver charms are handmade by my own hands and I have the scars to prove it! The bangles are hallmarked by the London Assay Office. What is left, I hope, is a gorgeous piece of jewellery that is totally unique and as individual as you are - no two pieces are the same even if made at the same time with the same names, they will have differences due to the nature of the process of hand stamping and are not flaws of imperfection but 'flawed to perfection'! (Another favourite song by the band Thunder!) There is a selection of charms that are customisable and you are able to create a piece of jewellery that means something to you or the person you want to give it to. You are not limited to a set collection and are able to mix, match and add to the jewellery you already have or create a completely new necklace adding additional charms and semi precious gemstones to leave you with something no one else has! I hope I will be able to create you a family heirloom soon! Best wishes Jacky |
