'Thank you so much. I did receive the package yesterday! I was so surprised and thrilled to see the bangle. It is absolutely beautiful. I am so impressed by your amazing customer service overall, and then with a shipping hiccup thrown in the mix, you have been so helpful and generous! I have always been a Franny E fan – now a super fan.' -M.M.

'Everything was so beautiful. I wear my little muse on my ear every day now, and I actually gave the bracelet to my mother-in-law; she loves it.' -L.B.


'Your package came. As always, the contents are breathtaking. I adore the long box which you lovingly decorated w/ a "j." This will go on the bathroom counter so I can store all my new goodies. Imagine my surprise when I found the cuff that I didn't get to buy. I love it and am wearing it right now. In the dark abyss (sapphire) of the forest still shines with the soft glow of the moon (turquoise). Atop the hill howls the little red fox (ruby). It's what I see anyway... I will take more pictures later w/ the gem boxes. They're so cute; I'm not sure I can even give one away as a present. Haha. Thank you, thank you, thank you!' -J.L.



'Wow. I cannot believe how beautiful my order is from you all. I absolutely love the box, the note, the stunning necklace you all gave me! I’m speechless! Thank you all so much! They will both be on me everyday until I can no longer wear them!
Much love.' -M.S.

'I finally opened up the package and My heart melted with joy when I saw the ring! It’s perfect! Thank you so much for all your amazing work you put into this piece. I love every details of it. It truly means so much to me. Also, thank you for the beautiful and meaningful pendant. My friend loves it too. I can’t thank you enough with all that you’ve both done to create this piece for me.' -T.

'I absolutely love the Rainy Day Cuff, it is more beautiful in real life than it comes across on the website. The opal flashes beautifully and i can't help admiring it, as my arm moves. I adore the pink tourmaline, the particular stone in the cuff is lovely. I had been wanting this cuff for a while and it exceeds expectations. Again, the customer service was excellent and your really feel valued in the way they correspond with you.' -M.G.
 

'I haven’t taken my necklace off except to turn it around to the other (silver) side! It’s perfect for my casual life. I call it my Third Eye.' -D.W.


'I received my ring yesterday, and I’m in love with how unique it is. I also loved the pearl pendent. I appreciate all the feedback when i had questions. Definitely worth purchasing from you guys again.' -G.



'This piece is quietly stunning. The moon has a gentle strength about her and I feel that the facial expression on this piece so perfectly captures that. The pendant has a nice weight to it too which always feels nice. I wear her when I need a reminder that peace lives within.' -A.


'I got my Shine Bright Don't Burn necklace as an everyday, go-to piece that I wouldn’t have to overthink. It goes with everything and gives a little understated shine, more a glimmer than a glitter :) The chain is the perfect length too definitely a 10/10 piece!' -A.

 

'I love the tones of the pearl from paris! At first glance it looks white but the more I look at it it actually has gentle reflections of green and violet shimmering through it. I love pearl jewellery but always held back as I could never be sure where/how the pearls were sourced but Franny e is really great at sustainable sourcing and I finally felt confident that I was making a responsible purchase. Love this piece so much, and the hidden gem on the other side is so special!' -A.G.


'I first came across Franny’s designs in a small shop and was delighted to find her unique work. The tradition of hand tooled production gives each piece its own personality. When it came time to fashion a custom ring, I thought of her and together we worked out a simple yet stunning design. As always, our exchanges include thoughtful presentation and kindness.' -J.M. 


'Hi there, Quite a while ago a friend of mine shared a discount code with me that you generously sent to the two of us. It was so thoughtful, and right away I knew what I wanted to order! My package arrived but I didn’t open it as my birthday was coming up and I wanted to save it until then. Imagine my surprise when I found yet another gift in the package from you! Your jewelry is gorgeous, and your generosity is out of this world. I shared on social media and tagged you but my accounts are private so you likely can’t see the post. I wanted to make sure you knew how much I appreciated this gift. Thank you.' -R.P.


'
I spent a looooong time looking for wearable bracelets that were interesting enough to invest in and subtle enough to go with everything. These cuffs are just that and their unique metal texture is so engrossing to look at. These live in my ‘everyday jewellery’ box!' -A. 

 


'Good Evening Jay, from a very sunny Edinburgh from a very happy mother and daughter. We received the package today, M. is over the moon with the contents, she has had both cuffs on all day along with a big smile. She loves everything. If you want you can send us individual links to do separate reviews, M. would be more than happy to do that. Thank you so much for the 3 necklaces, they are so special and will hold a lot of meaning for all three of us, we are already planning to all wear them on out first night out after lockdown. It is great that for her 21st R. has the double muse cuff with white topaz and then M. got the single muse cuff with white topaz, it is a nice way that will bring many memories for years to come. M. also loved the extra on the lids of the boxes, that was such a surprise for her and although you don't know her well, it really is the kind of thing she loves. She's a bit of a collector (hoarder) and keeps all kinds of things that may seem inconsequential but hold so much meaning and feelings for her. M. is also over the moon with the pearl ring and necklace that she was coveting for so long on your website, I may seem a lot for her to have got at the one time but she has had a pretty tough few years through illness and jewellery brings so much joy to her. She loves finding individual jewellers who seem to spark something in her and it brings her so much joy. She first saw Franny's jewellery on Tomfoolery, we haven't bought anything from there by Franny but have bought some other items from other Jewellers. M. seems to place meaning to each piece and wear them at different times when she feels she needs some support or strength, what a gift Franny is able to give to people all over the world, if they are like M. I just wanted to email, to let you know everything arrived safely, I hope you have a great weekend, I think we will be hiding indoors as we are having a heatwave of 25/80 degrees and are all melting, Scots were not designed for the heat.' -M.G.


'Mid-Covid purchase, a super unique design. The ring is so beautifully made and glitters away happily on my finger most days! Like a still life painting but wearable :)' -Anonymous


 

'Thank you for helping me make this proposal special Franny! The ring is beautiful and unique and we couldn't be happier with it. Definitely a 5/5 in every way.' -A.A.


'I saw your pieces at catbird and went to your website and fell in love with the raw and mystical quality of the metal. All of the pieces really resonated with me but I wanted to find a pair of necklaces that I could layer and pair together for the summer, so I decided to take the plunge and order these two. I especially liked the bronze/gold quality of the opal/ruby bow necklace in the photo online. There was no opal but citrine is my birthstone so that will be special!' -K.



'It arrived today.  It is sooo beautiful and perfect!  Thanks so much and thanks for the little surprise bracelet!  Take care, until next time :)' -E.D.


'Needless to say I love your jewellery! Everything you make feels filled with intention and goodness. You have a lifetime client in me :)' -A.


'My first purchase from Franny e! A ruby ring surrounded by a burst of diamonds. I had been looking for something that reminded me of an Indian aesthetic that I could wear everyday to honour my heritage and this ring basically jumped out of the cabinet at me. It has been my long time companion, truly a future heirloom! I had to get it sized twice when purchasing (I had messed up my ring size when I had measured it the first time) and the team at Franny e was so accommodating and responsive throughout the process which I really appreciated!' -Anonymous

'My order arrived today and I am seriously blown away! Each and every piece feels so special and it's as though they have been infused with goodness. Thank you so much for making these magical pieces and thank you so much for the gifts you included, you are seriously too kind! I opened all of the packages and just stared at them while I had my morning coffee. Again, thank you so much for doing what you do. Be well and best wishes to you all!' -A.



'It is the nice end to a Saturday night knowing that I have new jewellery to look forward too. Your kind emails made it so much better to feel confident about ordering form a new company t this time, with all the complications due to Brexit and covid. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, knowing you made a difference to someone you haven't even met.' -M.


'Hello! I received my package yesterday. The earrings are so beautiful! I have not changed my earrings since the pandemic (and they are your Lucy Pearls!), so new earrings are basically a new me at this point.' -K.O.


'I received my Pearl from Paris ring and it’s so delicate! I love it! A creamy pearl nested in a wee gold cup....nothing better! And, thank you so, so, so much for the bangle with the muse....your bangles are my signature bracelet and the muse really tops it off! Gorgeous look.' - L.J.


'They have arrived and I love them!!!! Thank you!' - M.


'Received my ring and necklace!  I love the ring, it's amazing, it has such a great vibe, which I need right now!  And the necklace is awesome too, delicate and beautiful.  And I also love my little vase of flowers necklace!' -S.C.


'I love it 😻 so nicely made ! I love a lot of thinks that are made by the artisan jewellers. Wonderful skills 🙏Have a lovely evening.' -D.


'Thank you so much. Thank you, thank you. I have been so deeply touched by your generosity. Where to begin?! Firstly, thank you for my gorgeous order of the Shine Bright Don’t Burn necklace and earrings - I even spotted the ‘r’ tag on the catch! Just the most thoughtful touch, it brought a huge smile to my face! Thank you for your thoughtfulness, it really was a highlight of my Christmas Day. I adore them - with the round setting they remind me of little sunshines (...and, trust me, there’s not a lot of that in this post-Brexit, new strain, lockdown, English winter!) I have worn this set every day since I received them - and look forward to many more days to come. The glitter exquisitely - sometimes I have take them out just to admire them myself :) Well, to then discover the beautiful All That Ever Was necklace in the package was a little bit more than my emotional resilience was prepared for on Christmas Day! Thank you so much. I have admired this pendant on your website in the past - it is such a special thing. Naturally, I fell in love with it straight away (when I opened it, my sister exclaimed, ‘that’s even more *you* than the ones that you chose!’) Nonetheless, inspired by your generosity, I wanted to share the joy you had brought me. I gifted the necklace to my younger sister ...but, knowing how much I liked it, she suggested that we share it. We live apart and will take turns to swapping between us when we see each other; I love that it will be a sort of sisterhood/friendship token - it feels fitting. With its expression of wistful wisdom and guardian-esque quality, it brings me comfort - I have been wearing it recently on some difficult days. It is also a precious reminder of the generosity of strangers - which brings great hope always, but at times like this, can be easy to forget. My mother trained as a silversmith and, as a family, we have always placed a lot of meaning on our jewellery (as you can tell..!) Gosh, this has turned into quite an essay - thank you for reading this far! Most importantly, I just wanted to sincerely share my immense trans-Atlantic gratitude. Thank you Jay, to you and your wonderful team - thank you for the beauty that you create and the light that you bring.' -R.


'The cuff was a hit! She loved it. My wife is a big fan of your store.' -B.M.


'I must admit I’m wearing my other gorgeous cuff around the house today just because it warms my heart & makes me smile admiring it :)' -A.


'
My necklace arrived yesterday and it is so lovely! I’m excited to wear it today.
Thank you so much!' -M.L.
'I'm just treating myself. I have loved the look of this piece for a while as it reminds me of one of my favorite films, Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet.' -C.


'My wife loves her earrings. She put them in so quickly, I'm sure they'll be a staple for a very long time. Thank you!' -J.A.


'It has come a long way, but finally I got it in Hungary and it’s absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much!!' -S.


'We are very thankful for your lovely and patient guidance through this whole process of creating our wedding band and gifting us a wonderful necklace on top! We didn’t expect such a beautiful surprise at all! You made us think about a text written down in the Bible in 1. Peter 3:4 where it says to „let the secret person of the heart be in the incorruptible adornment of the quiet and mild spirit, which is of great value in the eyes of God.“ This verse shows that the greatest beauty lies within a person himself. We find that you reflect many great qualities within the way you communicated and worked with us and we didn’t want to leave that unsaid. Please keep up the wonderful work and stay safe and healthy, but especially joyful!' -V.&M.


'Omgsh...our treasures arrived safe & sound today & once again you have touched our hearts & souls with your kindness & pure talent...our hearts are filled with joy & gratitude & the pictures really do not do your work justice! So happy to have found you & to have the honour & pleasure of wearing your pieces which hold added personal meaning thanks to how wonderful you both are...you inspire me & restore my faith in people...thank you SO much from me & mine!!! 🤗😘🥰😍❤️✨🌈🌼💫 Xxxxxx' -A.
 

'I am SO sorry to just now respond. My shifts in the hospital have ramped up so have been a bit out of touch. I LOVE it so much and she is very happy and made herself comfortable on my wrist. Forever cherished💜.' -M.K.


'I just wanted to thank you for being amazing. I love them, but having been blessed with a ring and a necklace I feel they need to be gifted away so I can share your wonderful jewellery with someone else. I love everything you make and everything you stand for. Thank you, sending you lots of love, x.' -V.C.


'I just wanted to let you know that I opened my necklace yesterday - when i had a quiet moment!. It is absolutely perfect and it goes so well with my labradorite - in colour and in style. I shall be wearing it to the big news years celebration tonight - in our living room. Thank you for working with me and indulging my questions and wishes, I know how much work goes into being an artist.' -K.


'This is the first chance I’ve had to message — I cried when I opened your beautiful box. I’ll treasure the necklace always. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 💕.' -K.


'I was truly speechless when I opened the gift that P. asked you to create on my behalf! From the gorgeous and personalized gift wrapping, to the magical opening of your amazing boxes....the medallion, a gift in itself....and then those truly precious earrings! I love them! Paul was super happy too....so you provided joy to us both. Thank you for being so thoughtful of our family in your creative process, thankyou for choosing those unique and twinkly faceted diamonds....you are so right, I love their colour, their irregularities, and the life within and...thank you for that sweet medallion, with my children so beautifully represented among the circle of jewels! Truly breathtaking. Your artistry shines through everything you do.' -J.

Thank you all so much!!' -S.P.


'Thank you so much! My sister and I are treated ourselves and our two best friends to your moon necklaces. We are so excited and we have loved everything we’ve learned about your company so far, what you are doing, the art you are making, and the wonderful customer care!' -L.

I have the muse hoop earrings too and I LOVE them so much omg I’m freaking out right now (if you can’t already tell haha)!! I had one of your tassel bracelets before, but it somehow got lost in a move. Maybe one day it will resurface, but for now I’m SO HAPPY to have my favourite everyday staple bracelet back in my life as well as this new dreamy lady. It doesn’t get much better than this. Wishing you all the best, from one happy gal.' -N.B.


'My family had Christmas today so I was able to give my daughter her December's Moon necklace.  She was so pleased that she cried!  But not only that, when I told her that you had sent a second necklace which I was wearing, then she really cried!  She laughed and said we now have BFF necklaces!  :)  She said she loves it so much and it will always be so special to her. So, I thank you for that.' -M.R.


'Thank you everything is beautiful...and I think you sent me an extra necklace?  If you meant to, I really appreciate it!  If not, please let me know...And your packaging is awesome.' -S.


'Beautiful! Thank you. Now the trick is to keep it hidden from my wife until Santa shows up.' -L.

'This is a very late note thanking you SO much for the delicate gold nugget necklace that you included with my muse earrings. I adore it. I am now “body by Franny”....I wear my haro bangles every day, my cuffs for dress up, my Nana rings every day of course and my gold nugget and moon necklace are perma necklaces together. Pretty smashing I think! The Muse earrings are perfect! Sadly they’re for my daughter but I intend to wear them until I mail them to her in England. -L.



'S. is beyond happy with his all that ever was moon necklace...he’s on furlough from work currently due to the pandemic so he’s been wearing it around the house in his pj’s rocking it with his new bling 😍 he adores the emerald & is so touched by your kindness & gesture...we think u r both the most amazing & inspirational people & ur relationship reminds us of ours 💕💕. Thank You 🤗. -A.C. 



'Thank you so much for the ring- it is perfect and matches my wedding band so well. We were on vacation when it arrived so sorry for the delay (our neighbour rescued it from the porch thankfully). I also appreciate the bonus gift and find it very coincidental since I just had a baby whose nursery's theme is moons and her birthstone is a ruby so the moon necklace with a red stone felt kismet!' -C.R.


'The family birthstone necklace arrived today along w/ a tumbling of love-of-a-kind little treasures spilling out of the packaging. Thank you for always being so generous w/ me. Your other pieces have been opulent, meaningful (of course), moody (color combo choices) so I would describe this one as the most whimsical so far. It has a weightless feel to it even though the metal is substantial. I love how all the stones play off each other.' -J.L.


'Thank you so much! The ring is so lovely and it arrived the day before we left for vacation where Internet was spotty. I very much love your designs and thank you for your exceptional personal touches. I will be gifting the lovely bracelet to a cherished friend. -K.


'The connection we’ve established is lovely & you are both extremely special people to develop such personal & meaningful relationships with your customers who feel more like friends 🤗 thank you SO much for getting the cuff that’s amazing 🥳.

It's so hard to put down! 💛 I have a very special and perfect place for it on my shrine/alter!!!)

'Despite Covid, life and work must go on. My employees are working from home but I am still @ the office. I've been super busy just plugging away the last few days, feeling sad about all the fun things that are on hold, like my skating and having breakfast w/ my team mates.  And look what came in to brighten my day! You've made me super happy today. I love the bead and the cute moon smile. Thanks so much for the snail mail.' - J.

'The package came today.  The work is gorgeous.' - B.P.


'The necklace is perfect!! 🥰 The details, the thoughtful extras, it went beyond what I was expecting.  And the extra charm on the chain...so incredibly thoughtful❤️  I’m keeping that for myself😉 Not only are you a very, very talented artist, you are a wonderful, caring person.  Every time you contacted me, you took the time to ask how we were.  That meant a lot.  There is a sensitivity there, that many do not have.  I think the sensitivity comes out in your designs, that’s why they are so special. Caitie was absolutely more than delighted.  The expression on her face as I explained the idea behind the piece, your design, your idea of the number, the leaf charm, her initial...as they say, priceless!  The only unfortunate thing was we couldn’t hug each other because of COVID, but we will catch up on those at a later date. Thank you so very much!  I am sending you a virtual, very big hug.' - M.N.


'She loves them she was wearing them yesterday.' - E.

'I absolutely love your work. My boyfriend bought me the Muse bracelet a few Birthdays or Christmases ago' - R.

'Wow! My custom Between Past & Future ring is beautiful!  I love it! My dad lived with me for years; he had Alzheimer's and I took care of him.  It was a crazy, thankless job, so every once in awhile I would splurge and buy myself a present :)  This month will be 2 years since he passed away, but I wanted something to remind me of those times anyways no matter how crazy and surreal they were.  Thanks!' - E.

'I can't tell you how thrilled I am. And the customer service is unreal. I was really drawn to the pieces because I have a passion for gemstones but more organic ones with a lot of inclusions and imperfections.

This is how I know you really love what you do. I look forward to all my future known and unknown pieces with you. I feel like we have many more stories to tell through your jewelry and I can't wait to see them eventually.' - L.



'I was completely surprised by the artfully wrapped gift box. The box was so lovely that I had to take some photos before I opened it. When I opened the box, I was awestruck and very touched by my amazing moon necklace. Memories of my grandfather had flooded my consciousness with the 50th anniversary of the walk on the moon this past weekend. My grandfather had always spoken with me about the moon and the stars in the evening sky. I think about him when looking out in the night sky. Sitting with my grandfather watching a man step on the moon was so incongruous to the mysteries in the sky my grandfather shared with me as a small child.  Your necklace embodies the connection I had with my grandfather. Thank you for your generous spirit. Warmest regards. - M.C. 


'O. M. G. Thank you so much for my lovely ring and necklace they are perfect!  Not to mention beautiful of course!  I’m so thrilled. I’m wearing them to work today to show them off. Thank you also for the lovely studs. They are totally my style.' J.T.

Thank you so much!' - S.R.


'I just received my cuff bracelet and absolutely love it! Thank you for sizing it to fit my small wrist, and thank you for the gift you gave me as well. I love the whole concept behind your jewelry designs; that they are hand formed ( l am an artist, too), and appreciate that your work is so unique, as well as being socially, environmentally, and morally reasonable. I also love that l am supporting a Canadian artist. :) This bracelet will pair nicely with my bow necklace which l also adore, as well.' - M.

'I adore it! The background patterning is fantastic and the stones set so beautifully. I am in love with every one of my cuffs as they are each different, with so much individual personality. Though bold, they are also very comfy to wear, and they give me so much pleasure to examine and admire. Especially great in long work meetings! What an amazing gifted artist you are, and how delighted and thankful I am to have come upon your work at ABC in NYC. Thank you again, and I know I'll be adding to my collection again soon. Also, am finding that Ebay boxes that house multiple watches are wonderful for storing your beauties. Am already on my second one!' -W.J.

'I received the earrings just in time despite historic snow in Seattle, a city which truly can not handle snow. Which I completely attribute to you and the commitment to getting it here on time – even upgrading my shipping without charging me extra. I cooked her a nice dinner at home and stashed them under her napkin with a card. You must understand we traditionally don’t celebrate valentines day so this was truly a surprise and something special, and she absolutely loved them! And to include the bracelet for free just made me look like I really thought it all through – I got props for that too, although it was all due to you and you going above and beyond. I can’t thank you enough. It was really a valentines day to be remembered. I should also say that the earrings were just as beautiful in person as they were online. It is truly beautiful and delicate, even poetic work. Thank you so much again for everything!' - H.Z. 


'I never wore bracelets before Franny’s and this will be my 4th. Everything about them is wonderful.' -W.

'Dear Franny, "Work is love made visibleand I feel so lucky to have and wear some of your beautiful work. I wanted to write to thank you for sending me the generous extra gift of your Shine Bright Don't Burn necklace. I discovered your work in September at a store and took home three pieces: Elizabeth III (I think it's on your Instagram!), She Sits by The Ocean, and Truth is Beauty is Truth. This past Sunday, I purchased: Rain Past Rain Present Rain Future, the 10 stone opal burst, and a seven stone burst (I'm unsure of the stone). Rain Past Rain Present Rain Future felt extra special because of the 12-days of smoke we struggled with from The Woolsey and Camp Fires. I live in Sausalito the little anchor town of the Golden Gate Bridge and I do sit by the ocean as often as I can. I was so excited and surprised to receive Shine Bright Don't Burn. As most people do, I've been mending a broken heart. for some time (too much time I think) Your gift was the first I've received since 2011. Thank you, Franny. I felt connected and I am for sure Shining Bright. When things slow down from the busy season, I was wondering if you might be able to take a personal order from me.' - C.B.
