Hey there! I’m Nat, the 22-year-old founder of By Nat Jewellery [or formally known as Handmade by Nat]. I’m currently studying marketing at university, but my true passion has always been in fashion and design.
Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve loved creating things with my hands, and the idea of having my own business was always in the back of my mind. But like so many others, I lacked the courage to make it happen—until August 2024. That’s when everything changed. I finally took the leap and opened my shop, and it’s been one of the best decisions of my life.
The Beginning: Small Steps, Big Dreams
I didn’t start with much—just a love for creating unique jewellery. At first, I opened my shop on Etsy and began by selling simple beaded bracelets and rings. They were small, subtle pieces, but they had heart and soul behind them. To my surprise, people loved them! The more I made, the more I realized I had something special.
My passion for fashion and design wasn’t just a hobby anymore—it was turning into a real business. As time passed, I couldn’t help but experiment and evolve. I began adding charm bracelets and earrings to the collection. I wanted my jewellery to be more than just something pretty to wear; I wanted it to tell a story. I started designing pieces that were personal, meaningful, and tailored to each customer’s style. That’s when I truly started to find my niche.
From Etsy to Personalisation: Growth and Evolution
What began as a small offering of beaded pieces quickly evolved into a wide variety of personalized jewellery. Whether it’s a custom charm bracelet to commemorate a special moment or a delicate pair of earrings that match someone’s unique style, I’ve poured my heart into every piece I create. The growth has been incredible, and it’s been so exciting to see how much my shop has evolved.
But, beyond the products, what really drives me is knowing that my designs bring joy to people. I get to be part of their special moments—whether it’s a gift for a loved one or a piece they wear to celebrate their own unique journey.
What’s Next & Our Exciting Rebrand!
The journey is just beginning, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come! While we’ve only been running for six months, we’re already taking big steps forward. One of the biggest updates is our rebranding—new name, new logo, and a fresh, exciting direction.
Along with that, we’re introducing a beautiful new collection that includes charm necklaces, bangles, and an even wider range of earrings, rings, and personalized pieces. There’s so much to look forward to! In addition to the rebrand, we’ve also launched our brand-new website, which feels like the first big leap we’ve made in this journey. It’s a space where you can explore all our latest designs and easily shop our personalized jewelry collections. It’s been a dream to create a space that represents everything we’re about—style, creativity, and meaningful design. But this is just the beginning.
There’s so much more in the pipeline, and I can’t wait to see where we are in a year. I’m beyond excited to keep growing, evolving, and bringing even more unique pieces to life. Thank you for being with us from the start—it means the world to me!
Thank you for supporting a dream!
Love, Nat Founder of By Nat Jewellery
