About Us
Our Story
True North Forge was founded by G and Katie, based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where they live with their seven children and three dogs.
G, the chief designer, has an extensive background in mechanical engineering. With nearly a decade of experience in the offshore oil and gas industry, he brings a deep understanding of heavy machinery and a perfectionist’s eye to every piece of jewellery he creates.
Katie has worked in customer service, recruitment, and motivational speaking, always focusing on helping others and bringing people together.
What started as a dream in May 2019—G making rings for family and friends—quickly evolved into a full-fledged business. On October 3rd, 2020, LumoBlue (our former name) officially launched, offering custom handmade rings for those who appreciate unique craftsmanship and quality.
The Evolution of True North Forge
As our brand grew, so did our vision. In September 2024, we expanded our offerings to include memorial jewellery—a deeply personal collection inspired by a tragic loss within our close circle. The experience of creating ashes rings and necklaces for loved ones seeking comfort led us to offer meaningful, personalised jewellery for others.
In April 2025, we rebranded from LumoBlue to True North Forge—a name that reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, individuality, and the journey of love and remembrance.
Our new name embodies:
✔️ True North – A symbol of guidance, strength, and unwavering guidance
✔️ Forge – A tribute to the traditional craft of metalwork and handmade jewellery
Although our name has changed, our values remain the same: nothing is mass-produced, and every piece is crafted by hand with care and meaning.
Commitment to British Craftsmanship & Sustainability
We are passionate about supporting British manufacturing and sustainability.
♻️ We use recycled and reclaimed materials whenever possible
📦 Since December 2020, all of our packaging is fully recyclable
💍 Every item is handmade in Scotland, with a focus on bespoke, alternative, and unusual metals
At True North Forge, we think outside the norm, creating jewellery as unique and distinctive as the people who wear it.
