The name
Noun, Japanese · A fleeting moment in time
It's a reminder to slow down and notice the small things. The name gives the brand its purpose: jewellery that means something to the person wearing it.
What we do
Each collection is built around a story, and every bead is chosen to tell it. That way your piece feels like more than an accessory.
Nothing is made in advance. Each piece is strung and finished by hand once you order it, so there's no excess stock and nothing goes to waste.
Sterling silver, natural stones and pearls, chosen for quality over quantity. A few special pieces you'll reach for again and again, rather than a drawer full of things you never wear.
I'm Eve, the founder and maker behind setsuna. As the daughter of a seamstress, making things has always been part of who I am. I've been knitting, crocheting, drawing and painting since I was a child, and that love of creating led me to study graphic design and then to a career working as a digital product designer.
After years of designing for screens, much of it in fashion, I wanted to make something people could hold. I'd also struggled to find playful jewellery that was handmade in sterling silver, so I taught myself jewellery making and started creating my own.
Today, setsuna is my biggest creative outlet, a space where I can lose myself in the making and the materials.
Our materials
Each bead is picked for its colour, texture and the way it sits next to the others, then strung with sterling silver findings made to be worn every day.
Durable enough to wear every day and made to last for years.
Soft, organic shapes with a natural lustre, so no two pieces are quite the same.
Gemstones, Czech and Japanese glass beads, chosen for their colour and texture.
How it works
Pick your design and length. Each one is made to order, just for you.
Your piece is strung and finished by hand within 2–3 working days.
Every piece arrives in a setsuna gift box, with your handwritten note if you've added one.
Sent with free UK standard delivery on orders over £115.
setsuna is still young, growing slowly with care going into every piece. Your support means more than you know, and there's so much more to come: new designs, special collections and more glimpses behind the scenes.
