![]() Anne Morgan Alongside the curated collections of rings from our guest exhibitors, Anne is showcasing her geometric diamond rings. In this range she celebrates the raw beauty of grey diamonds, coloured by their inclusions and imperfections. Her choice of contrasting metals and finishes further enhances the unique character of each diamond, creating a beautiful collection of one-off rings. | ![]() Justin Duance Justin Duance crafts his work from a workshop in the woods in Penzance. Justin is inspired by his environment with his work demonstrating the contrast between the textures of the land and sea. He achieves this by combining wood or sand with precious metals to give each design an elemental feel, or by texturing the metal in a way that creates a feeling of organic movement. Justin first developed his sandcasting technique over six years ago and it is this technique that giv | ![]() Deborah Cadby Cadby & Co are a family business that specialise in using old cut diamonds and fine gem stones. They create beautiful collections of jewellery, using certified diamonds and coloured stones set in 22ct gold for its rich warm colour and platinum for its elegant, steely subtlety. Unique hand cut stones have a nature of their own, with irregular shapes, unusual dimensions and uneven facets with each piece of jewellery designed to suit the stones. |

![]() Roxanne Gilbert Roxanne Gilbert creates one-of-a-kind, wearable sculptures from her studio in South London. Roxanne explores repetition and scale, building up multiple individual elements to create intricate textures and bold forms. Spheres and rounded surfaces currently feature prominently in her pieces as she continues to experiment with this shape. Roxanne injects colour and texture through her use of precious and semi-precious gemstones and pearls. | ![]() Yen Proud of her Vietnamese heritage and complemented by an early childhood spent in Wales, Yen Duong takes delight from a diverse upbringing. Upon graduation from Sir John Cass, she established Yen Jewellery in 1996, and has since exhibited at prestigious galleries including Sotheby’s, The Goldsmiths’ Company and The Crafts Council, and working with Liberty of London, Selfridges and Harvey Nichols. Yen's designs are engaging, the tactile nature of the jewellery invites touch and interaction | ![]() Natalie Jane Harris Gemstones are the primary focus of Natalie's jewellery and design always begins with highlighting a stones inherent natural beauty. Natalie started the business in 2006 after completing a degree in Silversmithing and Jewellery at Loughborough University and a postgraduate year at Bishopsland Workshops. Now based in the Midlands, Natalie works from her studio at The Harley Foundation in the grounds of Welbeck Abbey on the edge of Sherwood Forest. |
![]() Ulla Hörnfeldt Ulla Hörnfeldt's jewellery is characteristically clean, bold and without pretence. She starts by selecting a stone or combination of stones and builds an individual design to draw out their special character. As she experiments, cutting and shaping many of the stones herself, she aims for a final piece which is recognisably her work, maintaining the continuity of concept she has sought for over many decades. | ![]() HELEN BRICE Helen's asymmetric designs stem from a love of architectural and organic detailing, pattern and texture. She uses different finishes and contrasting materials - mainly Gold, but also Sterling Silver, Platinum & Palladium - to compliment the specially selected gems. |
