Jana Reinhardt jewellery has been on my radar for a while now and after finally getting my hands on one of their handmade necklaces, I totally get the hype. I’ve been wearing their signature Hummingbird Necklace in sterling silver and honestly? I’m a little bit in love.
Delicate, meaningful and ridiculously well made, this little pendant has completely won me over.
If you’re looking for a beautiful gift or just want to treat yourself (because, why not?), I’m about to tell you exactly why this piece is so special and why I’ll be wearing it on repeat.
Beautiful Handmade Jewellery with Meaning
There’s something quite lovely about adding a new piece of jewellery to your collection. Unwrapping this necklace, which arrived super quickly with tracking (free Worldwide delivery is available), felt like opening a tiny treasure. Everything from the packaging (which is totally plastic-free and 100% recyclable, by the way) to the pendant itself gave that luxury but thoughtful vibe.
The hummingbird necklace (from £115) is dainty and lightweight, but still feels like a solid piece of quality jewellery. I chose the sterling silver version with the 20-inch adjustable trace chain and it sits perfectly, it’s very elegant and simple, but still eye-catching. An 18-inch adjustable length chain is also available if you would prefer something a little higher on the neckline.
The little hummingbird is so beautifully detailed, mid-flight, wings outstretched and full of charm. It catches the light in such a pretty way and instantly adds something special to whatever I’m wearing, even if it’s just a jumper and jeans kind of day.
A Tiny Hummingbird with a Big Message
I’ve always loved jewellery with a bit of meaning behind it something quirky and this hummingbird necklace from Jana Reinhardt ticks every box. Hummingbirds symbolise joy, love and lightness and honestly, who doesn’t need more of that in their life?
Wearing it feels like a small daily reminder to slow down, appreciate the little things and find pockets of happiness where you can. It’s subtle enough for everyday wear but full of personality. And people do notice it, I’ve already had a few compliments from friends asking where it’s from.

Handmade, Ethical and Genuinely Sustainable Jewellery
One of the main reasons I’ve admired Jana Reinhardt jewellery for so long is because of their values. Everything is handmade in the UK by Jana and Ross, a super talented husband-and-wife team based in Worthing, West Sussex.
They carve, cast and polish every piece themselves, using traditional goldsmith techniques and you can really tell. The quality is miles above your typical high-street finds.
Even better, their jewellery is made using recycled precious metals, no newly mined silver or gold involved. The hummingbird necklace I have is made from recycled sterling silver and you can also order it in solid gold, platinum or even rose gold if you’re feeling extra fancy. It’s all vegan-friendly, cruelty-free and designed with sustainability in mind from start to finish.
Packaging? Plastic-free and recyclable. Carbon footprint? Offset with a tree planted for every sale. It’s ethical jewellery you can wear with peace of mind, knowing no corners were cut and nothing harmed.
Jewellery That Gives Back
Animals are clearly a huge source of inspiration for Jana and Ross and they’ve used that passion to support real-world causes, too. Over the years, they’ve launched several pieces that raise money for animal charities, click to find out more about this sustainable jewellery brand.
One of their early charity designs featured an orangutan, created to help raise awareness (and funds) for OVAID, a veterinary aid charity working to protect orangutans in the wild. There’s also a sloth, pangolin and even a polar bear, all part of their Giving Back collection, with a portion of profits donated to conservation and welfare organisations – they are also RJC certified.
And for those ‘just in’ case moments, Jana Reinhardt offer a 5-year guarantee on craftmanship faults, alongside a a lifetime repair service.
Even if you don’t buy from the charity line, just choosing to support an independent UK business like this, one that stands up for ethical and environmental causes feels like a serious win.
The Perfect Gift or Treat For Yourself
I genuinely think this hummingbird necklace would make such a lovely gift. It’s meaningful, easy to wear, beautifully made and it comes in that elegant presentation box that makes it feel extra special from the get-go. An engravement option is also available to make the piece even more special and heartfelt.
If you’re shopping for a nature lover, an animal advocate or just someone who appreciates beautifully designed jewellery, you can’t go wrong. It’s the sort of jewellery you’ll keep forever and associate with a moment, a person or a little reminder to stay joyful and light.
That said, it’s also a gorgeous treat for yourself. No guilt required! I’ve worn mine almost daily since it arrived and it’s definitely become one of those pieces that feels “very me.” It’s timeless, thoughtful and totally wearable and that’s a rare trio to find in one tiny bird.
My Final Thoughts – Jewellery That’s Full of Heart
To wrap up this Jana Reinhardt jewellery review, this piece has absolutely lived up to expectations. The design is beautiful, the craftsmanship is exceptional and the values behind the brand make it all the more special. It’s everything I want in a piece of jewellery – meaningful, ethical and something that feels like me.
If you’ve been eyeing up Jana Reinhardt jewellery, I honestly don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I’ve fallen a little bit in love with this hummingbird necklace, and I’m already eyeing up adding more pieces to my collection!
