Cloud Nine Jewellery

This is me - Lee. The founder, designer, and heart behind Cloud Nine.

And those photos above? That’s me too.

Usually, I’m the one doing the planning, directing the vision and quietly bringing Cloud Nine to life. But at our recent shoot, I decided it was time to step in front of the lens - and update the old website photo that honestly hasn’t felt like me for a long time.

Was I nervous? Absolutely.
Did I feel awkward? 100%.

I layered up in jewels that felt like me, little shields of strength, grounding, and protection. I brought my sketchbook. And with the help of my wonderful (and extremely talented) photographer @djknightphoto , I stopped overthinking, and slowly began to feel like myself. I even managed a few smiles.

These photos feel like more than just images.
They feel like a little reclaiming of confidence - a reminder that getting out of your comfort zone (even when it’s scary!) is often where the magic happens.

Cloud Nine has always been deeply personal to me. Every piece is a reflection of something I’ve felt or believed in - a story, a symbol, a quiet reminder of inner strength.

So if you’re currently doubting yourself or holding back…
Let this be your gentle nudge.
Get in the photo.
Say yes to the thing that feels stretchy.
Back yourself. You’re worth it.
