English Norman is an incredibly talented jewelry designer and craftsperson based in Atlanta, GA. She loves color, texture, and change. Color because she loves art. Texture because she loves silversmithing, combining metals, and creating a rich tary in her work. Change because she loves how flowers and plants bloom and grow, how designs evolve in her studio, and how one bit of art influences another. English’s lifelong love of color pervades her unique, brightly-colored hand-smithed jewelry crafted of Argentium silver, 14K goldfill, and faceted semi-precious stones. Her background in architecture is evident in her structural designs which are formed by hand-smithing Argentium silver or gold with an acetylene torch. English's Bespoke Bangles were recently featured in The Best of the City issue of The Atlantan magazine. The Name Collection includes the popular Bespoke Bangles and Necklaces allowing the wearer to hold children's names close to their hearts.

After each personalized order, the artist will send you a personal email confirming details about the personalization. There is not a way to specify names and such on the website order page. But don't worry! English will email you!
What is meaningful to you? Keep them close to your heart with the Bespoke necklace. A perfect gift, the long 14K goldfill chain necklace (approx. 28") is personalized with handcrafted Bespoke tags. Each character is individually stamped resulting in a necklace that is uniquely charming in its simplicity and imperfection - a beautiful every day heirloom bespoke piece! The necklace easily slips over one's head, and is perfect for layering with other necklaces, for example the Shooting Stars necklace in small, medium, or large chain.
The necklace includes 3 "tags" with names (or meaningful words) stamped on one side. If you want additional tags, they are listed separately here for $20 each. Please note, each of these is handcrafted by the artist. If there is a variation you would like, please email her to see if it's possible at englishnorman at yahoo dot com. We have a cross stamp, the Star of David, and a heart available as an option for one of the tags. (The Twizzles shown in the 3rd photo are available as an add-on to the standard necklace. The necklace does not include the Twizzles.)

Each pair of earrings in this collection is unique and different. The dangles drop about 1 1/2" from the ear. These earrings have a beautifully faceted prehnite stone dangling from the swirl. The prehnite is a button shaped, top-drilled stone and is a translucent bluish green. The gold wire is 14K gold-fill. Also visible in the second photo are the earrings with a blue chalcedony drop. Either is available...
Twizzle
Each piece in this collection is a delightful combination of semiprecious stones and “twizzles” of silver or gold. What’s a twizzle? It’s a fantastic, funky shape that is created when silver or gold is forged, formed, hammered, smithed, and soldered with great imagination to create a unique work of art.

Labradorite- The slice of labradorite edged in gold plate has a beautiful shimmer with flashes of blue, green, pink, and black.
Pyrite- Pyrite is a tough stone to photograph but the color is an earthy neutral with just a hint of green and shimmers of gold. The pyrite slice is edged in goldplate.
