Belmacz, by Julia Muggenburg
German-born, London-based artist Julia Muggenburg studied at London’s St Martin’s School of Art, choosing jewellery as her preferred mode of expression. Muggenburg’s pieces are singular in that they combine fashion, art, and design, into a distinct ‘modern-heritage’ style that is all her own. She operates the Belmacz art gallery in central London.

Cora Sheibani
The Swiss born, London-based jewellery designer is a long-term Wallpaper* favourite. Her ‘table jewel’ design for the 2015 Wallpaper Handmade exhibition was a playful take on the pudding course – she designed a sizeable chain of silver dessert bowls, in collaboration with traditional Edinburgh silversmith Hamilton & Inches, who hand-chased the entire piece. Sheibani doesn’t approach jewellery as art but as pure design, moulding line, form, colour, material and texture into a distinctive whole.

Hannah Martin
Just over a decade after she established her contemporary fine jewellery house, Hannah Martin continues to rise above the norm with expertly considered designs that shimmer with a fine art sensibility. A trained goldsmith, her influences range from the surreal fetish photography of French artist Pierre Molinier and the ’contradictions within the role and meaning of the jewel, particularly between the ownership – or possession’ that so often defines a worn jewel. The pull between constraint and freedom in the physical attributes of the jewel are a recurring theme.

Fabio Salini
Working from his studio in Rome, Salini’s jewellery style is rooted in modernism, with an emphasis on 1970s forms. His architectural perspective on form combines with rich contrasts of precious and poor materials, radiant and matt textures and unexpected components, such as carbon fibre, leather, ebony, bronze and copper. His mission? To create an ’entirely new language for precious jewellery’.
