Sophie has had a life-long involvement with jewellery, coming from a second generation of jewellers. Her personal passion for gold and gemstones saw her return to college to study Jewellery Design and Making in London and she has been creating her own designs for a loyal clientele for over a decade. Each piece is designed by Sophie and handmade by her team in India. The aesthetic of her work is understated and playful but with a distinctive boldness, achieved through rich coloured gemstones and her own bespoke mix of 18kt gold in the softest yellow. Much of her jewellery draws inspiration from symbols and tropes from the past and the well-being energies of the stones themselves.

 

“Having been around the world of jewellery all my life, I have always been fascinated by how women wear their pieces - what drives their choices and what is says about them. So many stories are held in the jewels we wear; sentimental connections with people and memories. The materials I work with will be worn throughout the journey of a life and won’t become dull or outworn. The resonant beauty of a stone or the patina on gold never fades. I love that sense of permanence you have with real jewellery and that deeper connection with who we are and what we hold dear. In this ever-changing and disposable world, there aren’t many things we can say that about…”
