MODERN AND PLAYFUL JEWELLERY INSPIRED BY ANCIENT ADORNMENT AND FOLK TRADITIONS.

Studio Rua was born out of my combined love of jewellery, ancient cultures and traditional craftsmanship.

As a child I was fascinated with history, especially the ancient civillisation of Egypt and closer to home the traditional folk tales and ancient monuments of the British Isles. I always dreamed of being an archaeologist one day. 

After graduating from Central Saint Martins with a degree in fashion design and printed textiles, my career has combined working in both London and Paris. With a background of over 10 years working in the fashion industry I decided I wanted to channel these skills into creating a range of jewellery which would be a physical expression of my passions and inspirations. 

My aim with Studio Rua is to create a collection of classic 'go-to' pieces which interpret the traditions and spirit of ancient jewellery in a playful and contemporary way. I want my designs to be worn everyday as part of their owner's daily rituals. 

I am also co-fouder of Charm Vintage Jewels, a thoughtfully curated selection of handpicked vintage jewellery which is available to purchase through Instagram.
