Maddie Jarvis

Maddie Jarvis, the founder of M-JAY jewellery, is a jewellery artist and designer based in Cornwall. Her practice explores how the motion and pattern of the natural world, in particular the coast, can be translated into jewellery that communicates a sense of rhythm. 

Maddie uses wax casting as her main practice to create all her jewellery, often embedded with sea glass and other precious stones. Maddie has a passion for reintroducing nature into the urban environment, believing that in a world often shaped by frenetic structures, her jewellery offers a softer counterpoint, a way to reconnect with the calm, freedom and energy of nature. Maddie aims to reinterpret these elements through bold, streetwear-influenced silhouettes and tactile surfaces. 

At its core, her practice is about creating art that holds story, place and presence. Every piece is thoughtfully designed and made to carry the textures and spirit of the landscape into everyday life.
