Justin Duance

After finishing his degree in jewellery and silversmithing at the Sir John Cass Faculty of art in London, in 2000, Justin began making his collections and selling them to local galleries. As demand for his designs grew, he decided to start his own business and moved back home to Cornwall.

A keen surfer, Justin’s silver and gold contemporary jewellery is deeply influenced by the surrounding countryside and ocean. He is especially fascinated by the way they engage with each other – constantly conflicting, whilst paradoxically achieving a harmonic balance.

The rustic and irregular nature of his rings comes from the technique of casting them in sand taken from local beaches, making each ring completely unique.

We have more work by this designer, including one-off pieces, available exclusively through our quaint Barbican Gallery in Plymouth.
