RUTH TOMLINSON is renowned for meticulously handcrafted, luxury fine jewellery with an ethereal, otherworldly appeal – eclectic, intricate, rare and precious. Ruth employs inventive techniques to ensure that originality prevails in each new collection. Now into it’s 16th year, the British brand has an international following seeking out its unique creations.
“I seek out the unconventional beauty within and this fuels my creativity; whether in the rarity of material or my curiosity in nature. My inspiration is drawn from the mysteries of historical jewels and the ephemerality of nature’s life cycles from birth to decay.”
Each jewel is made entirely by hand in her central London studio where her small team is based. Each gemstone is individually sourced and selected for its own unique character. The collections take on a personal approach and demonstrate sensitivity to the value and history of gemstones that often contain a secret treasure or story.
“To me, working with such precious materials is a privilege. Each piece of jewellery should be unique, like each of us, and this is how I like the jewellery to make people feel. I hope to evoke a sense of wonder around the work; a modern British classic of the future, handcrafted and ready to be filled with its own story – throughout our lifetime and for generations to come.”
