Meet Iris & Marnie
Our business was named after Iris Collins and Marjorie Hawkeswood - our grandmothers. They were ladies who loved their family, costume jewellery and lived through a variety of fashionable decades.
Their dedication to family, zest for adventure and flare for fashion made them our perfect brand ambassadors. We would like to think that our collections would have been worn by them both

Hi! I’m the creator and owner behind the brand IRIS & MARNIE. I’ve been an artist my entire life and have been creating custom jewellery for over ten years. Polymer Clay became my medium of choice over two years ago and I absolutely adore its possibilities.
I’m married to a wonderful man named Christopher and have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels named Ruffin and Reeves. When I’m not working at my business, you can find me exploring our city, playing the banjo, painting or listening to true crime podcasts.
Thank you for supporting this small (but mighty!) business.
