About Thomas North Contemporary Jewellery

Thomas North Contemporary Jewellery

Contemporary jewellery designer and maker.

My own creative ideas are eclectic and refuse to be tamed to an individual style or idea. I am inspired by nature, the play of light on different surfaces and gems, symbolism, archaeological finds, folklore and world cultures.
I love the organic, flowing forms found in the natural world, hence the new and expanding wildlife collection.
Some of my work looks as if it has been buried in the earth for a long time. Other pieces reflect light from polished or frosted surfaces. The "Opal Collection" makes the most of light passing through the microstructure of the opal, the internal colours being produced by the interference and diffraction of light within the gem.

Symbols and their meanings used throughout history intrigue me. Folklore is a constant fascination and inspiration.

Jewellery is, was, and always will be part of the fashion industry. I like to think that my pieces whether chosen or commissioned will enable people to express their individualism.

My hope is that my clients will wear my pieces for many years loving and enjoying them.
After graduating from Hereford College of Arts in 2013 with an Honours Degree in Contemporary Applied Arts, I have established my workshop making commissioned pieces for individual clients and exhibiting at festivals.
