One We Made Earlier.
Striking Geometric Jewellery
One we made earlier was born through a desire to bring together a shared aesthetic and common ideas.
Husband and wife team Emma and Rob Orchardson set up the studio in 2013 as a collaborative project.
Working from their studio in south east London Emma and Rob create pieces that are cut and finished by hand.
Their work emerges from playful experimentation, combining different forms, surfaces and textures to create striking geometric designs. The aim is to create accessories that you will love to wear, or simply hang on your wall as beautiful objects.
Make a bold design statement with the Konstantin Necklace by One We Made Earlier. Combining a vibrant red cord with a striking black terrazzo-effect resin triangle and smooth white sphere, this contemporary geometric necklace celebrates colour, shape and balance in equal measure.
Inspired by modern art and graphic design, the Konstantin Necklace transforms simple geometric forms into a sculptural piece that's surprisingly easy to wear. The adjustable cord allows it to be worn close to the neckline for a bold graphic look or at a longer pendant length to complement a variety of necklines.
Designed and handmade in One We Made Earlier's South East London studio, each necklace showcases the duo's playful approach to contemporary jewellery. The terrazzo-style triangle, flecked with colourful speckles, gives every piece its own individual character.
Whether worn with a crisp white shirt, monochrome outfit or vibrant colour blocking, the Konstantin Necklace brings a confident, artistic finish to everyday dressing.

Bold geometry meets playful colour in the Josef Necklace by One We Made Earlier. This contemporary statement necklace combines a slim off-white Corian bar, flecked with grey and white, with a glossy coloured sphere. Cleverly drilled through the top and side, the two shapes meet at an angle to create a distinctive V-shaped composition.
Suspended from black cord, the Josef Necklace is striking without feeling difficult to wear. The adjustable wooden bead at the back allows it to sit higher on the chest or drop to a longer pendant length, making it easy to style with different necklines. Wear it over a simple T-shirt, crisp shirt or block-colour knit and let the graphic silhouette do the work.
Designed by Emma and Rob Orchardson and cut and finished by hand in their South East London studio.

A signature design from One We Made Earlier, the Teo Necklace is a striking composition of bold colour, sculptural form and contemporary geometry. Combining a vibrant red sphere, a hand-cast black and white terrazzo-style triangle and a smooth white sphere, this bestselling statement necklace perfectly captures the playful design language of the London-based studio.
The contrasting geometric shapes create a beautifully balanced composition that's bold without feeling overpowering. Suspended from an adjustable black cord, Teo can be worn close to the neckline for a graphic statement or at a longer pendant length to complement a variety of necklines and outfits.
Each black and white triangle is individually hand cast in Jesmonite, meaning every necklace has its own unique terrazzo pattern. Slight variations in the distribution of white flecks ensure no two pieces are exactly alike.
Designed and handmade by Emma and Rob Orchardson in their South East London studio, the Teo Necklace is a modern piece of wearable art that's as comfortable with everyday dressing as it is making a statement on special occasions.
