Based in Cornwall, UK, Emily Nixon began creating fine jewellery in 2000. A former art curator with a background in sculpture, Nixon translates the rugged coastal landscape into her work. Her process is deeply tactile; she uses the lost-wax technique to cast organic, sculptural forms inspired by found objects like seaweed and pebbles from the Penzance tide line. The resulting pieces, crafted from recycled precious metals, possess an irregular, sea-worn character that feels both ancient and modern. The brand is particularly known for its distinctive rings, often featuring sapphires and diamonds set in textured, tangled settings that evoke the natural world. Each design is hand-finished in her West Cornwall studio, creating unique, artefact-like pieces for those seeking jewellery with a strong sense of place and individuality.
