Our Craftsmanship

London design. Craftsmanship in Jaipur and London’s Hatton Garden. Storytelling through design.

Every Capsule Eleven talisman begins with an idea of what jewellery can hold: a crystal, a story, a memory or an intention. Designed in London and brought to life with skilled artisans in Jaipur, Rajasthan, and London’s Hatton Garden, our pieces merge sculptural form and unique stone cuts with functional design.

Jaipur, Rajasthan

Jaipur is where our signature Capsule Crystal amulets take shape. Working closely with our artisans, Natalie guides their journey from initial sketches, hand-picked natural stones and wax models to the finished opening piece. It is a collaboration between contemporary design and the knowledge and skill of master craftsmen.

Natalie has been travelling to India for over 15 years and feels a soul connection to a country she deeply loves for its people and workmanship.

Chosen by hand

Each crystal is selected for its natural beauty and the symbolism associated with it. Colour, texture and the variations within the stone give every selection its own character.

Cut to fit. Designed to evolve.

The stones are cut, shaped and refined to fit inside our Capsule Crystal amulets. Precision matters: each crystal must sit comfortably within the opening design while remaining easy to remove and interchange. As each stone is individually shaped, every Capsule Crystal amulet is unique.

Choose a stone for a personal intention, then change it as your energy needs or direction evolve. One amulet can accompany many life chapters, becoming a legacy piece.

From model to metal

Digital designs are translated into wax models, allowing the proportions, sculptural details and construction to be explored before the piece is cast in metal. From the smallest curve to the way an amulet opens, every element serves the finished design.

Finished by hand

Skilled artisans refine and polish the metal, bringing definition to each surface and sculptural detail. Our Capsule Crystal amulets are individually checked for their signature click function, with attention to both their finish and the opening mechanism.

London, Hatton Garden

London is home to our design practice and to the specialist artisans who help realise our bespoke commissions. Each begins with a personal story, translated into a design through drawing, material selection and close collaboration at the jeweller’s bench.

A meaningful symbol, an unusual stone or a milestone can become the starting point for a piece made for one person. The process gives space to explore details that make it their own.
