Our Story
A Legacy of Sparkle and Joy
Jessie Sampson is more than jewellery, it's the tale of two women who share a story and a love for life.
Jessie
Jessie Greening (née Sampson) had the voice of an angel and a love for the sea that ran deep. With a lighthouse keeper as her grandfather, the Irish Sea became her escape, where childhood memories of slipping away to the waves of Larne would be cherished for a lifetime.
At 13, her family moved to Scotland, where Jessie found her lifelong home—and the love of her life, Eddie. Eddie first saw her whilst she was singing in the church choir and, despite his mother’s preference for her older sister, Gladys, Eddie only had eyes for Jessie. Their love was a beautiful balance: Jessie’s playful spirit matched Eddie’s seriousness. Together they would raise three daughters, Renee, Elizabeth, and Janis, all of which would inherit Jessie’s kindness, creativeness, playfulness and, of course, her love for swimming.
Jessie was also known for her love of all things that sparkled. Whether it was a shimmer on her clothes or a compliment for someone else's jewellery, she always noticed life’s little shines. After her passing, a collection of her rings and necklaces was rediscovered, passed down through generations—treasures that embody her joyful spirit.
The Jessie Sampson Collection celebrates this sparkle. Each piece honours her legacy of kindness, elegance, and the beauty of life’s small joys. We invite you to be a little more Jessie—embrace life with grace and joy, while wearing your own piece of timeless sparkle.
Jess
Jessica, granddaughter of Jessie, carries forward her legacy and sparkle. Raised in Scotland before moving to France as a child, it wasn’t until her grandmother’s passing, when she was gifted one of Jessie’s treasured rings, that Jessica discovered her true calling.
At the age of 30, that single piece of jewellery reignited Jess’ with her love of craftsmanship — which she turned into a passion for creating beautiful, meaningful pieces that reflect the same timeless elegance Jessie embodied.
Inspired by stories told and by the beauty of nature, Jessica’s creations are an ode to the past, designed for today’s world. Every piece is lovingly handcrafted, blending contemporary artistry with the deep connection she feels to her grandmother’s legacy.
Through her jewellery, Jessica invites you to celebrate life’s moments, big and small, with pieces that will become treasured heirlooms for generations to come.
