The moons and stars have always fascinated me since I was a child. The mystery of the night sky and the endless beauty of the cosmos naturally led me to explore all things astrological. But how did I move from a love for nature to creating jewelry? Well, silver and gold are elements of the earth—natural forms that speak to me, allowing me to blend a bit of science, nature, and art into every piece I create.

When I think about my journey, it all begins with me, but it never truly ends there. The pieces I create are more than just objects—they are like personal journals, meant to carry the stories and memories that shape your life. The story starts with me, but it’s completed by you, as you add your own experiences, emotions, and memories to each piece.

Memories are at the heart of everything I do. I can still hear the sound of my mum’s bangles jingling as she moved through the house—a simple sound, yet one that will forever remind me of the love and warmth of family. As a child, I was captivated by shiny things, drawn to the sparkle and beauty of jewelry. Little did I know, that fascination would lead me to create pieces filled with meaning and story.

Every piece I design holds a personal connection. The Mother Necklace, for example, represents the profound bond we share with our loved ones. The charms—the helping hand, the evil eye, the sacred hearts—are symbols of the protection, love, and strength that define motherhood, and the deep connections that help us navigate life’s journey.

The Sacred Heart is another piece that carries deep personal meaning for me. Inspired by my Nan and Grandad, two people who shaped so much of who I am, this piece holds their love and memory close to my heart. The sacred heart symbolizes the unbreakable bond we continue to share with those who are no longer physically with us, but whose love endures forever.

Then there’s the Pegasus Coin, born from a dream I had after losing my magical Grandad. This piece represents freedom, transcendence, and the eternal connection we have with our loved ones. It’s a piece for the dreamers, the ones who seek meaning in the world and carry the love of those we’ve lost deep within our hearts.

But all of these pieces are not just my stories—they are yours as well. Every charm, every necklace, is an invitation for you to carry your own memories, to write your own chapter in this shared journey. The story starts with me, but it’s completed by you, as you bring your own experiences, your own love, and your own memories into the piece.

Jewellery is not just something to wear—it’s a way to carry the moments and people who matter most to us, close to our hearts. A bespoke piece from By Cody is a reflection of those memories, a tangible reminder of the love and connections that define our lives. It is uniquely yours—a story that will forever live on with you, a personal journey told through jewellery.
