Ruth Tomlinson

Ruth Tomlinson is interested in the idea of life cycles, changes in nature and in transience from birth to decay. She finds tiny intricacies within the natural world and this imagery influences her to create sensitive and delicate jewellery.

Joel Degen

This series of rings showcases Degen’s incredible proficiency with cold working techniques.  The cool grey tones of the titanium are enhanced by an iridescent  blue from anodizing.  Degen uses rivets that are virtually invisible, and traps the diamonds between layers in a tension setting.

Elaine Cox

Elaine Cox is inspired by the earth's surface and archaeological drawings and maps. When she uses precious stones they are usually unpolished and uncut, challenging the traditional notion that diamonds should be faceted  whilst celebrating the natural surfaces of the land. Her diamonds are all used in a raw, crushed un-polished state, evoking thoughts of their natural geological state.

Karen-Ann Dicken

Inspired by architectural structures and theory Karen-Ann Dicken uses the principles of triangulation to create strong, geodesic structures which are scaled down to jewellery size. 

Maud Traon

An explosive mix of coloured fimo clay, electroformed copper, glass crystals and diamonds, finished off with an extravagant amount of glitter show that diamonds don’t always have to be paired with precious metals. Traon's work reflects a deeper interest in the idea of dreamlike landscapes and sugar-sweet fantasies and is the pinnacle of decadence.

Märta Mattsson

Märta Mattsson finds beauty in things that other people find strange or are even repulsed by.  “I become fascinated when there is something you do not want to see and the feeling you get when you do not want to look at something, yet you still do.”  Inspired by 18^th century cabinets of curiosities, Märta takes seemingly inappropriate materials and turns them into extraordinary objects of astonishment. The spiders and beetles she uses are transformed and reborn: given a new life as objects of wonder.

Myia Bonner

Using the iconic imagery and shape of the much desired diamond Myia Bonner questions current trends and traditions within today’s culture. Her graphic shapes present us with a delicate diamond ring in a bold and playful way.  

Nina Bukvic

Croatian born Nina Bukvic creates her work using an unorthodox approach, letting materials and techniques almost run out of control; allowing the construction process to influence the final forms of the jewellery. This spontaneous approach has led her to constantly develop her ideas; she simultaneously works on a variety of collections all at one time, so that each new collection is just an extension of the previous one.
