Textured 9ct yellow gold ring

Issy White is an independent jeweller based in Sussex. All of her pieces begin outdoors, and she turns elements of nature into jewellery that captures the beauty of the world around us. From her studio in West Sussex, Issy forages for tiny instances of Mother Nature – like peeling tree bark or a fallen seed. She then turns these fragments into handcrafted contemporary jewellery using a technique known as ‘lost wax casting’. After casting the foraged fragments in bronze, silver or gold, she carefully manipulate the metal – priming and polishing, bending and burnishing, helping the organic shape to fit the contours of our own natural bodies.
