I'd seen permanent jewellery all over my feed for months before I finally booked an appointment at Hey Tilly, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation I had walking in.
First Impressions
From the second I stepped through the door, I could tell this wasn't going to be a rushed, in-and-out kind of appointment. The store itself is beautiful. Every detail, from the layout to the displays, feels intentional and aesthetic without feeling unapproachable. It's the kind of space that makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy choosing your piece, rather than picking the first thing you see.
I was greeted by Mal, who made the entire process feel easy from start to finish. She was lovely, genuinely helpful, and talked me through every step, from choosing my chain to picking my charm, without ever making me feel rushed.
A Piece That Means Something
I brought my best friend along for the appointment, and we decided to get matching chains with the same charm, just in different metals to suit our individual styles. There's something really special about getting permanent jewellery with someone you love. It's not just a piece of jewellery, it's a small, lasting reminder of a moment we shared together. I chose my April birth charm to add a bit of personal meaning to mine, and every time I look down at my wrist, it takes me right back to that appointment. See our chain and charm selection here →
Why I Went Back
I loved my new piece so much, and the whole experience felt so special, that I booked another appointment just two weeks later. That's really the best way I can describe it. It wasn't just about the jewellery, it was about how good the entire experience made me feel.
On my second visit, I got to meet Sarah, the owner of Hey Tilly, and the experience was just as amazing the second time around. It's clear the same care and warmth that Mal showed me on my first visit runs right through the whole team, from the artists to the owner herself.
Would I Recommend It?
Without a doubt. If you've been thinking about getting permanent jewellery, or you're looking for something meaningful to do with a friend, sister, or partner, I can't recommend Hey Tilly enough. It's an experience as much as it is a piece of jewellery, and I already know I'll be back again. Book Your Permanent Jewellery Appointment →
