“Enchanting, delicate & special. This is how I’d describe all 3 of my Prairie pieces. I love how each piece is so unique, when I choose which ones to wear or match together I always take in the imagery & energy of the inspiration in my head. Holly you’ve turned poetry into wearable talismans, and I hope you never stop.”

About
In a small garden studio tucked away in the countryside, each piece of Prairie is crafted with immense care, consideration and attention to detail - in that Virgo sort of way.
Love Notes from Prairie Customers ♥︎
“Such a gorgeous piece. I purchased this as a gift for my friend’s 30th birthday - and it was even more beautiful in real life. The kind of quality piece you have forever ♥️ The packaging is thoughtful and special too. Such a beautiful gift - I will definitely purchase again (and for myself next time too!!!)”

Bianca R“Absolutely adore this juicy and festive carnelian necklace - I had been hunting for one for ages, and this is the most stunning. Love how solid and well crafted it is and how the light glows through the beads. Perfect summer necklace!”

Joanna O“Holly was very kind helping me choose this necklace. Nothing was too much bother and the on line experience, the back and forth on length, etc was all promptly and easily attended to. The colour of the necklace is a beautiful soft blue and the inclusion of the pearls accentuates the style so well. Thank you again Holly 💙”

We each have different bodies and preferences on how we like things to fit.
Our beaded necklaces are designed to sit around the collarbone area.
To find the right fit for you, there are two options.
1. Measure an existing necklace you own.
2. Using a length of string, wrap it around your neck until you find a comfortable fit. You can then measure the string flat against a ruler.
Keep in mind to hold the string taught against the ruler for an accurate measurement.
Our total length measurements are inclusive of the clasp, so from end to end.
We are in the process of adapting our beaded necklace design to include an extension chain to provide more sizing flexibility.
If you are unsure and would like some assistance in choosing the right size for you, we are happy to help. You can’t contact us here. -

The most accurate way to find your ring size is to visit a local jeweller and get a professional ring sizing. This service is usually complimentary but you can always call ahead to enquire.
There are many at home methods but they tend to be inaccurate, and the organic nature of our rings can make them difficult to resize.
Please take care in selecting your ring size as we are not currently able to offer a resizing service. -
It is very important to me that customers are happy with their Prairie treasures.
In the unlikely event that an item is damaged in transit, faulty, or any other issue on arrival, please email as soon as possible so that we are able to provide a solution.
We are not able to offer change of mind refunds or exchanges at this time.
There is a lot of care & consideration taken to ensure Prairie designs are high quality, well made and enduring.
It is still important to note that jewellery is an inherently fragile and precious object, that needs to be treated with great care and reverence.
