Winter Showcase 2026
We have selected a variety of designers to tempt you this Winter. Featuring independent British designer jewellers, the exhibition is on now until early January, with many new collections from our existing jewellers within the gallery. We have precious to playful and price points for all budgets from £20
Angela Benjamin
Angela creates architectural adornment using precious metals. Gemstones and reclaimed wood, making pieces that reflect her view of contemporary urban spaces and our connection to them, as humans.
Her work is inspired by urban environments, with a particular focus on Brutalist architecture and 21st century social housing. She is drawn to themes of connection and the human relation to built- surroundings. With her background in physiotherapy and anatomy, she has an appreciation of the irregularities of the human body: how we move, what connects us to each other (both literally and philosophically) and how we navigate shared urban spaces.
Angela approaches each piece by handcrafting her chosen geometric shape in an instinctual way: playing with scale and material weight to create pieces that are both unique and unpredictable.
Through her work she hopes the viewer can appreciate the sculptural nature of the piece and how it relates to the human body in seemingly unconventional ways. She also wants her work to contribute to conversations around connection, as most of her work is constructed with deliberate consideration of how the piece is attached to the wearer.
Florence Carter - Didi Cor
Florence’s Cor collection specialises in sandcasting. Done entirely by hand, she enjoys the drama of this ancient technique: hammering and carving the sand, heating the silver, watching it melt, before the rush of the pour and the speed at which it solidifies.
The line formed where the two halves of the mould meet would usually be removed, but this line captured Florence’s attention. No two are ever the same, and they often feel nostalgic. “I carve and mark the sand with intent—my tools, my palette; the sand, my canvas—the cooling metal forming the final picture.”
As a more modern addition, Florence plays with casting stones-in-place. The stones must withstand the heat of molten metal, making the process a risk. When successful, the result looks as though the stone has been unearthed or revealed by time.
Her Bolder, Rock, Pebble collection explores shaping wire into organic forms and texturing metal surfaces, again drawing on nostalgia, human needs, and desire.
Olive Rose
Taunton-based jeweller and gallery owner Emma Trott creates her jewellery under the name Olive Rose, inspired by her daughter’s middle names.
Drawing inspiration from the eclectic charm of Victorian jewellery, Emma brings together precious and semi-precious gemstones, set in silver and accented with solid gold lace. Each intricate lace element is cast from tatted lace, handmade by Emma herself, creating a delicate connection between traditional craft, intricate detail and contemporary design.
Her work celebrates the beauty of contrasting textures and materials, combining the richness of gemstones with the fine, delicate detail of lace to create distinctive pieces with a timeless, individual character.
Jessica Hewitt
Jessica launched her jewellery brand in 2005 after earning a First-Class Honors degree in Jewellery and Silversmithing from Birmingham City University.
Over the years, she has continued to refine her designs and enhance her skills, always looking for new opportunities to learn. Moving to the coast has inspired her deeply, the stunning Cornish coastline shaping much of her creative vision.
She is fascinated by the natural patterns found in plants, flowers, and rock formations, which are simplified into crisp geometric designs.
Using recycled silver, she crafts each piece with various finishes such as oxidising and gold plating. The making process is dynamic; designs often develop as she works, with gemstones and pearls adding subtle colour and elegance. Jessica loves experimenting with scale and pattern in both two and three dimensions, creating contemporary heirlooms meant to be treasured for generations.
Kathryn Willis
Kathryn Willis is a jeweller, maker and educator who lives in Monmouthshire, South Wales. She creates contemporary enamelled jewellery and panels using a wide range of enamel techniques on silver and copper. Kathryn was introduced to enamelling by Ros Conway whilst on her jewellery degree at Middlesex University. From that day she was hooked, loving the ability to play with layers of colour and pattern which evolve from her experiments with printmaking and textiles.
Kathryn’s work draws inspiration from her textile heritage and the weaving industry of Wales. Other recurrent themes found in her work are repetition, growth and the Welsh landscape. She is a member of the Makers Guild in Wales, recently retired chair of the Guild of Enamellers and a member of the British society of Enamellers. Kathryn has exhibited nationally and internationally.
Teresa Crickmar
Teresa Crickmar makes jewellery that refuses to play by the rules of mass production. Working through her brand Dea + me, she builds timeless jewellery from the chaos of raw materials.
The name, Dea, is the Latin word for goddess and a nod to Gaia, anchoring the work in the earth. For Teresa, the maker, the process, and the materials collaborate directly. Nothing is treated as a passive tool.
Using recycled silver, gold and stones, she leaves the marks of her bench tools and torch fire right on the surface. Those visible scars and rough textures intentionally reject slick, factory-smooth finishes and remind us that even through challenges we can come out the other side even more beautiful.
Drawing inspiration from Hildegard of Bingen and her concept of viriditas, the work taps into a raw, unstoppable life force. It explores resilience and change. These works are built as tactile anchors for the body. They are meant to be worn as physical reminders of personal strength and an enduring connection to the earth.
