Our founder's all time favourite collections

With the end of 2022 approaching and plans for future collections in the works, we have been reflecting on our past jewellery ranges. We spoke to our founder and head designer, Matthew, to discuss his favourite collections, past and present. As predicted, he couldn't choose just one! 

For the Origins collection I wanted to look back at my personal journey through designing and crafting jewellery. It’s easy to get distracted by the daily runnings of a business and forget where it all started. I wanted to rediscover my love of the technique through working directly at the jewellery bench and creating first hand again. Over time my role in the brand has changed from doing everything myself to working with a team of designers and makers. It was important to me to get back to the bench, working with the metal first hand and rediscovering techniques and tools. Through looking back over the years and the things I’ve learned on the way, Origins was born.  

My first ever collection, Meteorite, is a personal favourite of mine and still a best selling range. I’ve added pieces over the years, as often I find our signature hammered texture to be really inspiring, but some of the earliest designs are still as popular now as the day they were released. It’s been so humbling to see styles that I made for family and friends when I was just starting out now being gifted on special occasions and hopefully treasured for years to come. 

I feel that collaboration is an important aspect of design, as often an idea evolves in a really interesting way with input from other creatives. The Oro Antiguo collection means so much to me because it gave me the chance to work closely with two very fun and talented people, Rachael and Claire. It was a really exciting process that I won’t forget not only for the end result but for opening up the brands horizons and taking on the unique perspective of others.
