We aim to ship all orders as soon as possible, but the handmade nature of our jewellery means that most products take up to 5 working days, some larger or unusual pieces can take longer. However, we know life can be hectic, so if you need your order sooner, please checkout with express shipping, and contact us with details of your deadline. We will always do our best to help!
A herb for doorways and vows, for lullabies and luck. They once pinned dill to wedding lace in Germany and Belgium~bright seeds hidden in a shoe, a whisper of the old rhyme to keep tempers gentle and fortunes kind. In New England meeting-houses, children chewed the tiny seeds to hush hunger and fidgets, the plant living up to the name it carried from the North: to lull. And at home~always the home~sprigs were tied above the crib, or slipped beneath a pillow, to keep bad dreams and worse intentions at the threshold. Older still are the stories tucked into Europe’s witch-lore: bunches at the door, charms in a pocket, a cup of dill water to turn mischief back. The poets knew it, too~pairing dill with vervain as a spell against ill-will. Little wonder that Victorians, with their secret dictionaries, winked and gave it bolder meanings: love, luck, even lust. Dill is quiet magic: protection you can wear, luck you can hold, passion kept close—an old comfort made bright again.

By choosing an Albert swivel clasp (first used on Victorian watch chains), your charm needn’t stay in one place. It can move with ease between chain and bracelet, a small detail that makes a big difference.
Charms will be attached to your chosen accessory as standard. If none is selected, we'll include a seasonal ribbon choker ~ to carry your charm until you place it elsewhere.
Floriography, also known as the language of flowers, is the practice of attributing meanings and symbolism to flowers and has been recorded in traditional cultures around the world for thousands of years.
