This little ring spent a week in the pool and you may be able to spot it came out a little tarnished.

We always recommend taking off your jewellery before swimming, cleaning, even showering as over time these chemicals can permanently affect your jewellery. But, if you can’t or don’t want to, for Silver at least, at bit of Elbow grease and a silver cloth can usually have it shiny again.

Swipe across to see how this one recovered.

Jewellery care does matter but if you have a piece that needs rescue, don’t panic, there’s usually something that can be done. Let me know in the comments if you’ve had a piece needing rescue.

(Please take extra care with plated jewellery, jewellery set with stones or inlays, especially precious / memorial jewellery as they may be more difficult or even impossible to get fully back) by @benandcocoa

A single line of silver, shaped like the sea.
Handmade and ready for summer.
The sunny seaside backdrop is AI-generated (real summer sun coming soon we hope) —but the silver, the shaping, and the summer vibes are all Ben & Cocoa.

✨ Ben and Cocoa at the Trial of the Pyx ✨
A front-row seat to one of Britain’s oldest traditions: checking the nation’s coins are the real deal. From beautifully struck pieces to the absolute show-stopper — a 5kg solid gold coin worth £560,000+ in metal alone 🤯 — it’s impossible not to feel a bit star-eyed.

As someone who spends their days obsessing over silver, gold, and tiny details at Ben and Cocoa, this was pure inspiration: craftsmanship, precision, and a whole lot of history in every piece. Proof (quite literally) that metal + care + skill = something special.

Now… if only I could sneak that gold coin onto my workbench 😅

Two fidget rings.
Two very different sizes.
Same purpose.

These sterling silver hammered fidget rings — UK G (US 3.5) and UK Z+9 (US 17) — are designed to be spun, touched, and returned to when your hands need something calming to do.

A lot of people who benefit from fidget jewellery already feel self-conscious — about anxiety, nail-biting, restless hands… and often about ring size too. Being told “we don’t do your size” can be one more small barrier that doesn’t need to exist.

I normally stock UK D to Z+6, and I regularly make rings smaller or larger than that. If a particular style isn’t in your size right now, I can usually make it to order.

Because support tools should be comfortable, discreet, and made to fit the person using them.

Message me if you'd like a sterling silver fidget ring in your size. by @benandcocoa

✨ New Pocket Hugs Just Dropped! ✨
We’ve gone bolder, brighter, and way more mischievous with our latest designs – meet “I’m your certified cuddle witch” and “I’m your monster repellent (probably)”. 🧙‍♀️👾

These little glass hugs are packed with personality – perfect for slipping into a pocket, bag, or lunchbox when someone needs a reminder that they’re loved (and maybe a little protected from rogue monsters). 💛

🎨 Each one is handmade in our Warrington studio with extra pops of colour and playful backing cards – because sometimes love should make you giggle as much as it makes you smile.

💌 Which one would you keep in your pocket – the cuddle witch or the monster repellent? Tell us below! ⬇️

The kiln's been working its magic for over 24 hours... they are finally here, two fused glass wish sticks!

These beauties aren't just art, they carry a story. Long ago, people believed in wish sticks as tokens of hope. You'd hold one, close your eyes, and let your wish travel through it - a little ritual of belief and beauty.

Today, these modern wish sticks are made of fused glass, each blob of colour like a captured dream. Perfect to display (how about hung from a favourite tree), to hold or to gift. A daily reminder that hope is real and wishes matter.

So... what would you wish for if you were holding one right now? 🌈🌈🌈

I hope your wish comes true by @benandcocoa
