Handmade by Hannah Royce-Greensill, founder of SLAB, in Bristol.

Pearls & Pomegranates buys and conserves 20 square metres of Colombian rainforest for every order in partnership with Bioconservancy.


Part of SLAB's INSCRIPTION collection. Inspired by wanderings around graveyards and ancient words carved into weathered surfaces, the INSCRIPTION collection brings arcane phrases together with romantic keepsake jewels.

Historic posey rings with romantic words have been updated to become an oversized signet ring with the words ‘Ride or Die’ in the traditional French. A sad lion peers out from the centre of the Latin phrase meaning ‘Life is uncertain, only death is certain’ to remind you to live each day to the fullest.

Handmade by SLAB

Handmade gothic jewellery with attitude. SLAB combines skulls, roses and sharp halo spikes, inspired by 16th-century Memento Mori jewellery and influenced by sub-cultures and reliquaries. From chunky signet skull rings and dagger charm earrings to spiked necklaces and rose crown stacking rings, each piece is one-of-a-kind and finished by hand in Bristol, using low-impact recycled silver and gold. SLAB creates perfect gifts and arresting adornments that are designed for individuals who aren’t afraid to express their individuality.

SLAB was founded by Hannah Royce-Greensill on an ethos of original design, traditional craftsmanship and eco-friendly production. Hannah handcrafts each piece using recycled gold or silver, antique tools, and the traditional lost-wax casting technique. Intricate models are hand-carved in wax, resulting in a unique character and a beautifully textured finish. Carving in wax enables unique shapes and textures to be carved into the jewellery. The character in the skulls that are carved by hand for example, or the subtle differences in each handmade petal in the roses. Each design can be crafted in solid sterling silver, which can be plated with a thick, five-micron layer of rich 18ct gold, or cast in solid yellow, rose or white gold.

Every SLAB jewellery design is handmade in Bristol, England, UK.
