Why Handmade Jewellery Matters – Celebrating Craft, Storytelling & Sustainability

Today we’re celebrating National Handmade Day, a moment close to our hearts here at Licensed To Charm. Because for us, handmade isn’t a trend – it’s at the very core of everything we do.

Each piece of our officially licensed jewellery is designed and handmade in the UK by skilled artisans who put care, creativity, and craftsmanship into every charm.

Whether it’s a Miffy mini head necklace, a Wallace and Gromit pendant, or a Dark Crystal necklace, you’ll find something unique in every detail – a slight variation, a personal touch – that makes each piece feel like it’s made just for you.

💀 Frida Kahlo Beaded Jewellery – Handmade to Order

This year, we’re especially proud to spotlight our new Frida Kahlo Fiesta Edition collection. Featuring hand-strung semi-precious beads, natural wood accents, and recycled sterling silver charms, these bold and colourful designs are not just inspired by Frida’s spirit – they’re made in it.

Our Frida Skull Bead Necklaces and Beaded Creole Necklaces are handmade to order in our London studio, meaning each one is assembled with love and intention, bead by bead.

No two are ever the same – and that’s the beauty of it.

From Concept to Creation – Jewellery with a Story

Every piece we make starts with a sketch, inspired by stories we all know and love. Then it’s cast, finished, and polished by hand in our studio. Our artisans bring characters and moments to life through their craft.

🌀 Love the fantasy of Labyrinth? Our Labyrinth Door Knocker Earrings are crafted from recycled silver and handmade in the UK – capturing the magic of the film in miniature.

Enchanted by The Dark Crystal? Our Mystic Necklace brings the world of Thra to life in wearable form.

Adore the nostalgia of The Moomins? Our whimsical Moomin jewellery pieces are a collector’s dream, each one handcrafted with care.
