RenaissanceRebelCo

The Renaissance Rebel Co. is born out of my passion for the history of decorative arts, an anarchic London upbringing and an obsession with contemporary fashion, combined with a burning desire to create beautifully crafted limited edition luxury jewellery, that utilises traditional craft skills.

The new Art Lover Collection is inspired by original 'It Girl' and illustrious 18th century French courtesan, Madame du Pompadour and her passion for collecting Sevres porcelain. I spent many hours at The Wallace Collection Museum in London researching the world’s finest examples and her amazing creative legacy. This limited edition collection offers contemporary style adventurers a range of colourful statement pieces and tiny trinkets brought to life using traditional hand carving and forging techniques, as well as exquisitely delicate enamel work.

Drawing from my background in visual anthropology, I am fascinated by the process of communicating something extremely modern through historical motifs, materials and processes. Notably, the Renaissance Rebel Co. collections predominently feature scroll motifs, as enduring and potent symbols of opulence, femininity and power passed down through the ages. It is my hope that my pieces invoke a few of these talismanic qualities for those who wear them for years to come. Because I only ever produce small batches I am able to continually develop new ideas and collections for you!

After training as a professional jeweller in 2009, I went on to win the UK Jewellery Awards 'New Designer of the Year' 2015 title, as well as the British Jewellers Association ‘Cocktail Rings on the Catwalk’ Award in 2014. That same year I became a Member of the Institute of Professional Goldsmiths in London.
