R jewellery

Laurent Rivaud, Vivienne Westwood’s jewellery designer who five years ago started showcasing his own designs under the mystifying name R Jewellery, has the approaches of the Victorian era echoing through his pieces. Rivaud often designs heavy, dark but, at the same time, strikingly beautiful pieces where symbolic and religious metaphors are frequently incorporated. His remarkably well executed jewellery designs courteously pay homage to antique jewellery and the techniques that created them.

Conroy & Wilcox

Amazing designer duo Conroy & Wilcox started their fine jewellery company in 2006. According to the twosome, their jewellery designs are “simple and organic yet employ complicated construction methods that are not immediately apparent”. Conroy & Wilcox put a great deal of thought behind their gemstones clarity, colour and cut and all their items are finished by hand with the intention that every single piece has “the imprint of the craftsman and is unique, one-of-a-kind piece”.
