Shorthand is a method of rapid writing that uses symbols, abbreviations, and simplified strokes to write as quickly as someone can speak.

As a former journalist Claire had to learn Teeline Shorthand and be able to write 100 words per minute, 100% to pass her training. It took 11 weeks to learn and she has been using is ever since as a print journalist, radio producer, documentary maker and now in jewellery.

Well the Fuck one is certainly flying out of the shop and I have had requests for even more NSFW words which I might make as a limited edition.

Email claire@clairehilldesigns.co.uk with words you might like.

Currently we are not taking custom words as each necklace needs a new wax mould to be made and then 6 weeks production from the factory.

But never say never, please email claire@clairehilldesigns.co.uk and we will look into the request.

All of our jewellery is shown on models and indivudual dimensions are shown above.

We use the US sizing for all of our rings and you can find out how to measure our rings, order the free ring size or compare US to UK sizes here
