Guys, I want to say a huge thank you for all of your support this month 🫶
I’d also like take a moment to acknowledge your solid gold purchases.
Not many of you will know this, but when I started sea bloom, I was deep in debt, working in disability care and studying full time.
And I’d stumbled upon a burning desire to craft beauty from precious metals that could honour your connection to the natural world.
Because I had no savings, I had to build sea bloom in tiny baby steps, a few tools here, a few materials there.
I remember I was finally ready to launch my first collection and I wanted to offer a gold range but I just couldn’t bring myself to settle for gold plating that doesn’t last.
I started thinking, could I launch my first proper collection with solid gold?
It seemed a bit red hot for someone so new to the game.

I spread the creation of each gold design over different pay weeks and I eventually launched with solid gold.
I’d chosen 9 carat gold.
The gold my grandmother wore every day.
The gold with the yummiest down to earth colour.
The most durable form of gold, so you don’t have to be too precious about it.
And ever since then, your support for my solid gold designs has really surprised me.
You’ve loved my gold Rays at Dawn necklace since day one.
Then my mini oyster pendant came along and became one of my bestsellers.
All the while, the price of gold has consistently increased since I first started creating.
Then it skyrocketed to another dimension this year.
There were many times I thought, “this might be the last time I make this design in gold.”
This larger oyster pendant was one of those designs.
With so much gorgeous gold in her, she really is an investment.
I thought for sure, no one will buy this baby anymore, the price has climbed too much.
But you’ve continued showing her love and I’m just so grateful.
Every order you place with me is an honour.
And when you invest in solid gold I’m just so chuffed that you want a little piece of sea bloom to be part of your fami
