Our Story
Feathers And Wings Fine Jewellery is a grassroots, independent jewellery brand created with the intention to display beauty, grace and simplicity through a creative medium. Based in London UK, artisan and goldsmith, Jane Bannor, specialises in solid gold jewellery, delicately crafting each piece. With a steadfast commitment to sustainability, Jane sources her materials ethically, ensuring each piece embodies not only graceful elegance, but are consciously crafted with the earth in mind.
Driven by a passion for empowering women, Jane’s journey began with volunteering for a charity for vulnerable women. Now, her philanthropic endeavours are woven into the very fabric of her brand with a focus on ethical craftsmanship as well as becoming a charitable partner for the social enterprise, Luminary Bakery - donating a portion of each sale to the charity, in support of aiding socially disadvantaged women.
Jane’s belief is that true beauty lies within, aside from today’s cultural strive for perfection; that it lies in life’s precious and unique moments. It is here that her inspiration is found from the moments in life we each create. With the hope of capturing such moments, she presents a collection of timeless, golden treasures that exude both beauty and light. Pieces that are to be worn by you and passed down to yours.
Feathers And Wings is not just just another jewellery brand, but a community built on individual people making conscious choices to purchase jewellery that is both ethically made and consciously crafted, following each of them along their life’s journey adding to the memory of each day.
"He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings shall you trust. His truth shall be your shield and buckler." - Psalm 91v4
Meet The Maker
Jane Bannor
Artisan, Goldsmith
Jane's earliest memory of jewellery is of her Mother. She would always adorn herself in stacking bangles, elaborate necklaces and gemstone rings. A trait seen amongst the nobles of her heritage: Ghana's Asante culture. Some of these items were passed on to her. It is a pastime sewn into the heart of Feathers And Wings.
In 2013, Jane spent her Tuesdays volunteering with the women from 'The Waterfall', a women's recovery group that helped vulnerable women overcome addictions. Having taught herself how to make jewellery, she in turn, taught the women as part of their creative outlet session. It was here that her love for crafting jewellery was born.
Jane started Feathers and Wings not only to do more for The Waterfall by giving her time and donating to the charity, but to encourage others that it is possible to do and achieve all that you dare to dream. With Feathers and Wings, she was able to combine her love for the arts with the gift of compassion.
Further gaining a certificate in fine jewellery amongst other traditional metalsmithing methods, as well as becoming an ambassador for Fairtrade Gold, she uses these techniques and ethical standards and practices to craft lifetime treasures that will be worn by you and yours. Modern heirlooms that excite you, jewels that reignite joy from a special day and also remind you of the strength you hold.
[Aside from fine jewellery, Jane has a BN Bachelor of Nursing (Adult) with an additional diploma in Critical Care. She has a lengthy background in Neuroscience Nursing, specifically Neurology, Neuroscience Critical Care: Trauma, Neurology & Neurosurgery, and as a Neuroscience Research Nurse. She is further completing a diploma in Interior Design.]
