Here at Jo Pond there is nothing we enjoy more than enabling you to incorporate a treasured object within something new, to re-frame and celebrate it for many more years to come. Whether it is a jewel, a stone or even a bicycle cleat, it is always a pleasure to learn the story behind your precious objects and to work with you to your bespoke design brief, to create something unique and tell your story.

Brooch, 'Tandem Usque'
This bicycle cleat brooch was commissioned by the gentleman of a couple who are keen tandem riders. The wife was throwing away a favourite pair of shoes that had seen thousands of miles of service and the husband decided to salvage the cleats and make them into a memento of their many adventures together. The wife loved peridot, so these were utilised to hold the cleats in place. They were mounted in silver onto a laser-welded steel frame, with a nod to the yin and yang and to the cycle of repetition. The final object was laser engraved and functioned as a wearable, as well as a wall-piece. The couple are still cycling!
