Welcome to the new Incitatus Fortuna collection
Named after Caligula’s favourite horse; this collection is inspired by the thrill of racing and the love of all things equestrian.
Incitatus fortuna means to be ‘encouraged by fortune’ and it’s our hope that these pieces will bring you that little bit of extra luck.
I am inspired by intriguing gemstones and anything that captures my imagination. I work with mostly recycled silver & gold to make unusual jewellery in my little studio in Oxford, UK. I also re-invigorate pre-loved and vintage pieces to extend their life for decades to come, reducing waste and refusing to subscribe to our ‘throwaway’ culture.
I have over 20 years of experience with jewellery and you can be sure to receive the highest customer service. All our pieces arrive ‘gift-ready’ - beautifully packaged in eco-conscious packaging.

I wanted to commission some bespoke cufflinks for our wedding anniversary incorporating my grandmother’s silver six pences so I approached Zaphir for some inspiration. After discussing a range of ideas, I couldn’t make a decision on which backs to go with so zaphir suggested interchangeable backs so I didn’t have to! I also really enjoyed seeing the process which later became a blog on Zaphir’s website - Hannah T

Cordelia at Zaphir made all the jewellery for my wedding: bridesmaid earrings, mothers' earrings and my bracelet and earrings. It was all magnificent; everyone commented on the beautiful bespoke designs! I've recently purchased a bespoke pendant and chain, which is absolutely stunning and eye catching. I highly recommend Zaphir for your jewellery needs...amazing attention to detail and the highest of qualities, with the added detail of sustainable packaging and use of recycled metals! - Naomi W
