Ciara Bowles
Being brought up in London's East End, Ciara’s tastes in colours and aesthetics were formed through being surrounded by a multitude of cultures in the urban city - juxtaposed with her fascination with medieval history and adornment. As a craftsperson, first and foremost - she is an intuitive maker, and her journey towards being a jewellery designer started from a very early age. Creating and understanding how beautiful objects are made was always a fascination.
Romance, delicacy and detail are at the centre of the collections - drawing on the shapes and symbols that are recognisable in everyday life; circles, squares, triangles, hearts, stars. Combining these shapes with wonderful antique characterful intaglios or colourful gemstones to create patterns, imbuing the designs with personality and meaning that will connect differently to each wearer. The pieces are designed to stack and link together, creating new shapes and stories of their own.
