About the brand.
Welcome to Once Stranded!
Nestled in the natural beauty of the English countryside, my passion for crafting unique jewellery pieces has blossomed over the past four years. I launched my brand in my university halls whilst earning my First Class Bachelors degree in Economics. What started as a small venture on Etsy has grown into a dedicated online store, bringing the charm and elegance of handcrafted jewellery directly to you.
Every piece in my collection is meticulously designed and crafted with love, drawing inspiration from my surroundings. Inspired by my love for travel and being outdoors, I chose to design jewellery that could keep up with your adventures - whether that be hiking, surfing, or everything else inbetween! I take pride in creating jewellery that not only enhances your style but also tells a story.
Thank you for being a part of my journey. I invite you to explore my collections and find pieces that speak to your heart.
With love, Emily
The rebrand.
Formerly 257 Jewellery
I began 257 jewellery in 2022. The name was always a placeholder, as I was focused on creating quality products. However, I now have products I love, and wanted to focus more on a brand identity.
Whilst 'once stranded' refers to an individual strand of beads, it's also rooted in a love for travel and exploring new places. Pearls & gemstones - once stranded - are now brought together in meaningful, wearable pieces.
