The Curtain Rises: My Journey to Iris By Hazel and The Lead Role Collection

The Curtain Rises: My Journey to Iris By Hazel and The Lead Role Collection

Today marks a moment I've dreamt about for what feels like a lifetime—the grand unveiling of Iris By Hazel and our debut collection, "The Lead Role." This isn't just a launch; it's the culmination of years of passion, dedication, and a deep-seated belief that every single one of us deserves to be the vibrant, compelling protagonist of our own story.

For nearly two decades, I immersed myself in the world of words, crafting narratives for others as a copywriter. Before that, my heart beat to the rhythm of the stage, fuelled by a degree in Theatre Arts. In the last few years, i have crafted pastries (which I still do by the way) that are healthier versions of their counterparts but will ignite your taste buds. I learned early on that whether it's a wonderful treat, compelling advertisement or a show-stopping performance, true magic happens when you combine careful design with heartfelt intention.

But beneath the hustle and the deadlines, a quieter, more personal creativity was always humming. I found myself drawn to the tactile beauty of beads, the glint of metal, and the way a perfectly chosen accessory could transform not just an outfit, but an entire presence. It was in this space—this joyful, hands-on artistry—that the seed for Iris By Hazel was planted.

This brand is my personal encore, a space where my passion for storytelling, intricate detail, and empowering women intertwines. Every single piece in The Lead Role Collection is handcrafted by me, right here in Milton Keynes. From the subtle shimmer of our Pure Serenity pearls to the bold declaration of our Veridian Heritage multi-strand pieces, each design is infused with the belief that your jewellery should amplify the incredible woman you already are.

We are so much more than supporting characters in our own lives. We are the directors, the scriptwriters, and the undeniable stars. And just like a perfect costume transforms an actor, the right piece of jewellery can elevate your confidence, reflect your ambition, and help you own every single moment.

This collection is for the go-getters, the dream-weavers, the quiet leaders, and the fierce trailblazers. It's for every woman who knows her worth and isn't afraid to shine.

Your lead role starts now. Explore The Lead Role Collection

With love, glister, and immense gratitude,

Patricia
Founder & Designer, Iris By Hazel

Such beautiful and enchanting collection! Way to go Patricia! Not surprised that some pieces in the collection are already sold out! It’s a testament to the lure of the collection! I’m having a hard time figuring out which one to buy! Well done and keep up the good work!

This really impressive, to see someone go through what you have and still remain positive. If only a lot of those read this today can really peer into your past to view all of your pains and struggle to get here, then they would appreciate you as a person, then the products will have deeper meaning. Well done, all I can say is keep the faith you will get to your zenith.
