Designer Spotlight

I’ve never been much into jewelry and almost never wear (ear)rings or necklaces. The only accessories I wear on a daily basis are 4 thin bracelets I got from my mom and a watch which has been given to me as a birthday present a few years ago. Apart from these I hardly own any jewelry and never felt the need to change that… until now.

Pippa Small crafts some of the most amazing pieces I’ve ever seen. She’s very much into gems and uses them a lot in the pieces she creates. If they weren’t way out of my budget, I’d totally splurge and never look back.

Born in Canada, but raised in Wiltshire with an extended family of artists and wanderers, Pippa Small’s home was filled with an eclectic mix of cultural artefacts gleaned from their travels.

Even as a small child, Pippa was attracted to gems, shells and minerals. She gathered beads, bottle tops, seeds, sea-washed glass, anything and everything, secreting her treasures in little piles around the house.

I especially like the green gem pieces (look at that gorgeous emerald green ring! ♥), but the pink tourmaline ring (£2.500) and the peacock earrings (£2.200) are also nice. Which one is your favorite?

You can buy Pippa Small’s jewelry in her online shop and at Astley Clarke.
