About

Beautiful handmade jewellery, reflecting your soulful side

Mojo & the Maker is a range of exclusive small-edition designer jewellery by Sarah Jane Whittaker, a UK-based maker working predominantly with recycled silver. Sarah Jane's designs are natural, tactile and organic, expressed with her hallmark daintiness, sensitivity and simplicity.

Every piece of Mojo & the Maker Jewellery is individually handmade, going through a complex 9-stage process using both traditional and contemporary techniques before being polished and beautifully packaged.

Now based in the Shropshire hills, where she lives and works with her punk rocker husband and their 2 cats, Sarah Jane formerly taught silver jewellery bench skills at a jewellery school on the South coast, where she started producing her own exquisite jewellery, nearly 15 years ago.

With partly numb hands from longterm multiple sclerosis, Sarah Jane jokes that she can probably do most fine tasks more easily with jewellers' soldering tweezers than with her fingers.

Fields, sea and sky

Mojo and the Maker jewellery is strongly inspired by the natural beauty of our rural setting, and by the North Wales coastline, from the shapes of wind-whipped trees silhouetted on hilltops, to the weathered and wave-worn surfaces of seaside rusting metal or ocean-tumbled rocks.

Throughout the collection, you might notice a fascination with the effects of time, wear and weather on the natural and manmade world, and a slight obsession with creating texture on the surface of silver and other precious metals.

Silver is almost endlessly malleable (if you know how), and is wonderfully responsive - it's our favourite material to create dainty but striking jewellery to be worn with delight.
