Based in Bristol, UK
I’m lauren, the metalsmith, photographer, treasure hunter, and vintage enthusiast behind Little corners co. it was the combination of these hobbies & overall intrigue of unique places around the world that led to the creation of my small business back in 2020.
my metalsmithing experience comes from a brief study during university, then continuing to self teach up until this point, where today i create mindfully crafted pieces with a focus on quality and longevity.
Info
-
From start to finish, these pieces are crafted entirely by hand using .925 Sterling Silver & often feature a semi-precious gemstone. Sterling silver is a resilient metal and will never turn your skin green, and is usually fine when submerged in water. Please avoid wearing in chlorine or while using chemicals. Sterling silver may lose its shine over time, so regular use of a cleaning cloth will keep your piece clean & shining for years to come. These pieces are designed with intention and should last a lifetime if cared for properly. Should you have any issues with your handcrafted piece, please feel free to contact me
-
Brass is always a beautiful material to work with to create gold like colours in a handcrafted piece. It’s also a more affordable option for those looking for a forever piece at a lower price point. Brass may naturally tarnish over time, so regular use of a polishing cloth is recommended along with a mild jewellery cleaner. Please avoid contact with water while wearing your brass jewellery, and make sure to dry the piece completely if wet to avoid tarnish.
-
Each collected or vintage piece is carefully curated for Little Corners Co. with quality and uniqueness in mind. Due to the nature of antique/vintage pieces, some wear and tear or “character” may be present, but will be noted on the product listing for full transparency.
-
From time to time, I’ll open up slots for custom handcrafted pieces, where you can request a specific style or stone setting that we’ll design together. Openings for custom orders will be advertised on social media platforms, so keep an eye out.
Due to the nature of handcrafted pieces, repairs on handcrafted pieces may not be possible due to stone settings, however if you have a reasonable repair request, please contact me via email and we can chat about options. *This option is for domestic UK customers only due to shipping times & costs

To Measure at Home:
Find a ring you already own that fits comfortably on the finger you intend to wear your new ring on.
Measure the internal diameter of the ring, using a ruler or measuring tape. Make sure you're using a ruler with millimetre (mm) measurements, then place your ring on top of the ruler and measure the inside of the circle – in other words, the part that is in contact with your finger.
Use the Ring Size Chart to convert your diameter measurement into the correct ring size.
***When in doubt about your sizing, consulting with a local jeweller about your ring size is a safe bet!
