  2. Meet The Designer

    "Meet The Designer"

     

    A fun night had by all.. We opened our doors late for the press and bloggers to visit and talk to some of the talented designers we stock in our Mayfair boutique. 
     
     
     
    The Designers... 
    It was fascinating listening to the designers and the different process that they use in order to make their jewellery.

  3. Graduates In The Spotlight - Finalist Interview with Hazel Rose

    Posted on

    What inspired you to become a jewellery designer?

     
    I did not start my creative life with the ambition of becoming a jeweller. My starting point was textiles for fashion which I loved, but I wanted to work with more 3 dimensional forms and different materials in relation to the body. Studying jewellery was the perfect solution and I have not looked back since!

    What is your favourite piece of jewellery? (either made or purchased)
    My ‘Straightened Necklace’ – a striking and elegant piece with the perfect hidden fixing. Easy to wear – wonderful with a suit or evening dress, and great when dressed down with a T-shirt and jeans.

    Which celebrity would you love to wear your jewellery and why?
    Tilda Swinton – she has a very distinct androgenous beauty and style; a woman who does not follow the crowd – her acting career spans all forms of media including art. Not only would she wear my work beautifully, but she also embodies the type of women who wear my work – confident with their own sense of style.

    Out-with jewellery is there any other career that you would love to try?
    Perhaps architecture – much of my work is influenced by the Modernists. I like the idea of creating structures that are habitable rather than just wearable. Perhaps even incorporating leather!

    What can we expect to see from you in the future?
    I am currently working on prototypes for my new collection – so watch this space for some new statement pieces as well as sculptural necklaces, earrings and bracelets. These are inspired by ‘On Line’ a great show I saw at MOMA 2 years ago and the result of lots and lots of experimentation.
