Akansha Sethi

Akansha Sethi Folio necklace with hand-carved multi-coloured tourmalinesAfter graduating from Goldsmiths, University of London, Akansha Sethi started her jewellery brand AS by Akansha Sethi. Seeking inspiration from the places she has travelled to and by studying art movements, it has shaped her understanding of design. This has meticulously been translated into her timeless pieces of jewellery. Her design philosophy is to gain rich experiences from places around the world and transform her memories into wearable art forms. The intricacy of each piece is also reflected in the multifaceted nature of the design. This allows each one to be fragmented or unified and to be worn in several ways, creating a convertible line of jewellery. It showcases a level of interactivity, allowing the user to modify the jewellery to suit their style. Sethi’s fascination with vibrant colours has been reflected in her jewellery, through the use of semi-precious and exotic stones, with pure gold and silver. Her jewellery is not just an adornment but a piece of art, which gives immense joy to the wearer. It complements and connects with the individuality of the person wearing it, enabling them to fall in love with the ethos of the design.

Alexandra Jacoumis

Alexandra Jacoumis’ jewellery seeks to unite the intricate designs and softness of textiles with the illuminating quality of gold and precious stones. Being of Greek origin, she was always inspired by the traditional and ancient crafts. Her journey in the world of jewellery making started when she acquired a degree in Jewellery Design & Practice at Sir John Cass Department of Art, Media & Design in London. Following her studies, Jacoumis worked for ethical jeweller Pippa Small, during which time she was able to perfect her craft and find her own voice. True inspiration came after several months spent travelling around India and Greece. Her proximity to rich textiles, textures, colours and stories moved her to create a unique collection. Alexandra Jacoumis jewellery is made by embroidering detailed forms, which are then transformed into solid 18ct gold, retaining the exact intricate detail of the thread. Afterwards, precious and semi-precious stones, such as black diamonds and sapphires, are added. Delicate and tactile, these pieces are organic. They are reminiscent of the centuries-old technique of hand-sewing and yet they are modern and wearable.

Coline Assade

Jewellery designer Coline Assade’s motto is: “If you’re a circle, don’t try to be a square.” In her East London studio, Assade tells stories through handmade pieces that are playful and unconventional; traditional yet contemporary. They are made, as she likes to say, with love, perfectionism, and too much coffee. Assade, who has French and Egyptian roots, graduated from London’s famous design school Central St Martins. She is also an alumnus of the Sarabande Foundation, a charity set up by the late fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen to support creative talents. Assade’s quirky jewellery designs include the Forest Spirits collection, with the imaginary creatures taking the form of masks. These playful, sculpture-like compositions start off as wax hand carvings and real-life impressions of items picked up by Assade during her walks through London. Another key collection is Nature in Details, which offers up precious reimaginings of natural details, such as twigs and leaves.

Deborah Blyth

British designer Deborah Blyth’s signature design aesthetic celebrates the beauty of nature’s imperfections, exploring organic, tactile forms inspired by the natural world. Her passion for swimming and the restorative power of water began as a child living by the sea.

Each piece of Deborah Blyth jewellery has a personality of its own, handcrafted in the brand’s London studio through the process of lost-wax casting. Many pieces are embellished with semi-precious stones and striking pearls for everyday luxury that can be worn from day to night. All Deborah Blyth jewels are available in sterling silver or 24ct gold vermeil, and often incorporate beautifully lustrous baroque pearls into many the designs, creating a wonderful mix of textures and styles.

Le Ster

Aishleen Lester 18ct yellow and white gold Zadie ring with fancy coloured sapphire and diamondsThe Le Ster jewellery brand name is a play on words. The suffix ‘ster’ means to possess a quality of – as in youngster – but in the case of Le Ster jewellery, it is also a play on founder Aishleen Lester’s surname. As a child, she had an active imagination and was a magpie for colour and stories; being drawn to the power of objects and the stories they can tell is a theme that has permeated her life. As she says, whether real or imagined, we assign meanings to objects. The Egyptians believed the gemstone lapis lazuli had almost godly importance because of its dark-blue colour and gold pyrite flecks, and that it captured the night skies and stars and became an image of the heavens. Lester believes that you are what you wear and the narratives you surround yourself with become the voice to your future. Le Ster jewellery is luxurious and modern and aims to give wearers a confidence that lasts longer than lipstick. In 2018, Lester won Designer to Watch at International Jewellery London, an accolade she has followed up this year by being selected as the winner of The Jewellery Cut Live bursary prize.

Mocielli

Mocielli yellow gold and pink tourmalline Shooting Star double ring

Mocielli jewellery is inspired by feminine archetypes ingrained deep in our beings and strives to be a precious reminder of the virtues and strengths we carry within. The human touch of traditional craftsmen, focus on the ornamentation and finer details is a crucial element to Mocielli designs. Love for gemstones, and also for their perfect imperfections, is supported by gemological knowledge and plays an essential part in the story of the brand. The aim is to draw from the strength of the traditions of the past to create contemporary jewellery that is timeless but with a modern edge. In Jungian theory, archetypes are deep enduring patterns of thought and behavior that remain powerful over long periods of time, and transcend cultures. Plato referred to archetypes as Forms, which he saw as pre-existing ideal templates or blueprints. There are a few main feminine archetypes: Queen, Maiden, Lover, Mother, Priestess, Warrioress. These archetypes are fractures of a complete woman and they stand for different varieties of female energy, each with their own unique areas of focus. Represented this way, it allows women to understand and affirm their strengths, and to cultivate missing or recessive female energies to help support personal growth.

Royal Asscher, which has remained a family-owned business throughout the generations, has been at the centre of the Dutch diamond industry and has dedicated itself to constantly inspecting and analysing diamonds to unlock the full potential of their beauty. Royal Asscher has a timeless love of diamonds and the stories that come with them. The company is responsible for cutting some of the most famous diamonds ever found, including two of the top three largest diamonds. This includes the Cullinan diamond, which at 3,106.75cts was the largest ever gem-quality rough diamond when it was found in 1905 in South Africa’s Pretoria. The family also created their own diamond cuts. Almost 100 years after the original Asscher Cut was first conceived by Royal Asscher founder and legendary diamond cutter Joseph Asscher, his great grand-nephews, Edward and Joop, revised the design, adding 16 additional facets to make it reminiscent of the Cullinan II diamond, a 66ct cushion-cut brilliant cut from the Cullinan that is set at the top of the Queen’s Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross.
