Unique keepsakes
Ever looked at a child’s doodles
or sticky prints on paper or
(frustratingly!) a wall or table
and thought, “That’s so much
more than just scribble”? Be it a
child’s first drawing, a secret love
note to mummy or daddy, or
the detail of a child’s handprint,
Scribble Jewellery
knows that
one person’s scribble is another’s
precious, sentimental keepsake.
Commissions are truly personal
and unique; they are lovingly
designed by you and skillfully
crafted by them (in silver, gold
plate, copper or bronze). Prices
start from $400; a full consultation
on individual requirements is
available. Reach them at
