Polly Wales Jewelry Artist
Originally trained in sculpture, British jewelry designer Polly Wales takes a playful, colorful approach to precious gems and metals. She finds beauty in imperfection, creating pieces that "always have unique and slightly unpredictable outcomes with a rough luxe." Thoroughly modern, her singular jewels derive from an eclectic mix of references, from Byzantine and Indian artifacts to current couture trends. Polly and her UK-based team handcraft luxurious jewelry that is socially responsible, ethical and sustainable.
