Independent by Design: Handmade Jewellery from Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter

Independent Jewellery Studio Birmingham

In Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, where over 200 years of creativity, craft, and industrial grit collide, our studio sits somewhere in the middle—doing things a little differently (and having a lot more fun while we’re at it).

From 18th-century workshops to today’s modern makers pushing boundaries, the Jewellery Quarter has shaped British jewellery for generations.

Here, it’s not about chasing trends, cranking out cheap accessories, or mass producing with things no one really wants. It’s about making jewellery that is simple, sustainable, and designed to be worn every single day.


Minimalist Ethical Jewellery

Modern, Sustainable, Award-Winning

Since 2014, Oh My Clumsy Heart has been doing minimalist jewellery differently. Modern yet timeless, full of character, and designed to be worn every single day. Every piece is carefully crafted in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter using high-quality recycled metals and low-waste methods. No to fleeting trends, cluttered collections, or unnecessary mark-ups.

We’ve been lucky enough to have our approach noticed, picking up awards for creativity, craftsmanship, and sustainability—from Best Minimalist Jewellery Brand to Most Creative Minimalist Jewellery Business. Along with recognition as a woman-owned, sustainably focused studio.

These accolades aren’t just shiny trophies (though we’ll admit, we do feel pretty smug). They’re proof that doing things differently—with timeless design, ethical craft, and unmistakable character—actually makes an impact.


Minimalist Recycled Gold Jewellery

Our Studio in the Heart of the Quarter

Tucked inside a Victorian Grade II listed building in Birmingham’s Spectacle Works, our studio is where the past meets the present. Exposed brick, the hum of machinery, and polished metal catching the light—it’s the kind of space that reminds you craftsmanship matters.

Nothing here is mass-produced or rushed. Every piece is handmade in Birmingham, using high-quality recycled metals and low-waste methods. Minimalist in design but packed with personality, each piece is timelessly wearable, crafted to fit effortlessly into your daily wardrobe with just enough character to make it unmistakably yours.

Whether it’s a delicate stacking ring, a simple chain, or a statement piece that steals all the attention, everything is sustainable, independent by design, and crafted with obsessive care. The Jewellery Quarter brings the history, we bring the style.

The Birmingham Jewellery Quarter

The Jewellery Quarter isn’t just a postcode, it’s a neighbourhood with character, history, and a serious reputation for quality. Its streets are lined with historic workshops, contemporary studios, and generations of makers who know their craft.

It’s the perfect backdrop for creating jewellery that’s thoughtful, timeless, and fully of personality. And yes, it’s also a brilliant place to pick up a gift that feels truly considered… or, you know, a little treat for yourself.
