JEWELLERY MADE BY INDEPENDENT MAKERS

At Varoshe we believe that jewellery should always tell a story. Whether it is the memories and sentiment that you pour into our most precious pieces, or simply the stories of the people who make it, each piece has a tale to tell.

As well as our own collections we also showcase the work of other independent makers, whose stories are as unique as their jewellery. These pre-made pieces are available to purchase from our showroom in West Malling.

Due to the nature of these collections we cannot guarantee to have all the featured items in stock. If you are looking for a specific piece of jewellery then please contact us to check availability, or visit our online shop to view a selection of available pieces.

Alice is an award-winning jewellery designer and maker. She draws complex beauty from the simplest of forms to make elegant, contemporary jewellery with meticulous attention to detail. Her work is influenced by the cuts, folds and repetition used in paper art, and draws on lines, angles and repetitive shapes for inspiration. 

Emulating stiff pleated fabric, shards of reflective glass and folded paper, the Pleated Collection has an Art Deco like quality with a contemporary edge. Each jewellery design has been meticulously hand carved from jewellers wax, cast in precious metals and satin finished to give a soft, subtle sheen.

The paper like quality of Alice’s work make them a great gift for your first wedding anniversary, which is (you’ve guess it) paper!

Pieces in this collection start at £43*. A selection of Alice’s work is available to purchase online. Click here to shop!

Cara designs beautiful, elegant and bold jewellery for stylish and strong-minded women. Her work marries classic and contemporary design to create unique, timeless pieces. It is jewellery that comes to life when worn, intricate, playful and tactile yet expressing glamour and elegance.

Cara is a lover of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements and is a believer in the philosophy of Art Nouveau: that art should be a way of life. The stylized and symbolic organic forms of Art Nouveau and the streamlined, sculptural and decadent aspects of Art Deco provide endless inspiration.

Pieces in the ‘Paillette’ collection start at £25* and pieces in the ‘Orbit’ collection start at £55*. A selection of Cara’s work is available to purchase online. Click here to shop!

Andrew Chambers first started using concrete in his jewellery after seeing a tiny leaf which had pushed its way through the pavement, outside the Barbican in London. The moment obviously stirred something in Andrew's design talents because just a short while longer Chambers Concrete was born.

Andrew has an incredibly beautiful and unique style, and his mix of concrete and silver gives an unexpected softness to his work.

After creating his concrete jewellery ranges, Andrew progressed on to making concrete candles, which we also stock at Varoshe. These come in a variety of colours and sizes, perfect to compliment any home. 

Pieces in this collection start at £15*.

Emily’s jewellery has an industrial, yet delicate feel, just like the beehives and honeycomb that inspire her. She uses the process of enamelling to explore colour and pattern repetition within her work.

Emily’s combination of liquid enamel, layered over vitreous enamel, gives a beautiful, organic depth to her jewellery.

“I take inspiration from the rectangular shapes of beehive boxes and the layers they are built upon, stacked in a neat uniform line above each other, contrasted with the organic unpredictability of how the honeycomb itself grows and forms around the frames within the hive boxes.“

Pieces in this collection start at £28*.

Melanie, the jeweller behind the Kokkino brand, has a beautifully playful aesthetic with her bold use of colour and removable earring enhancers. Her use of vitreous enamel, in a restricted colour palette of sixteen shades, creates eye catching pieces which are a perfect mix of statement and delicate.

Over the years Melanie has worked to develop her own trademark style, always striving to create beautiful timeless pieces with a modern twist, using considered design and exquisite craftsmanship.

Prices in this collection start as £35* A selection of Melanie’s work is available to purchase online. Click here to shop!

Paul uses a variety of innovative techniques to create distinctive ranges of jewellery, characterized by elegance and simplicity. He has a love of strong form with few embellishments, preferring to contrast colour and texture into organic flowing designs that are both durable and comfortable to wear.

Paul creates sculptural pieces in silver, which he sets with blue topaz and diamonds. His work is often highlighted with beads of 18 carat gold or finished with a 22 carat yellow gold plating, which gives an instant richness to his designs.

Rebecca works with precious metals and stones to create abstractions of the natural world she sees around her. Her work is delicate and feminine, and often incorporates bold colour contrasts with her use of layering matte silver with oxidised silver.

Rebecca's background is in textiles, which can clearly be seen throughout her work. Her jewellery is often designed with a strong theme of pattern and decoration, building up surfaces much as you would embellish a piece of fabric.

Pieces in this collection start at £20*. A selection of Rebecca’s work is available to purchase online. Click here to shop!

Suzanne Claire’s work is influenced by her love of needle craft. From her beautifully fluid French knitted bracelets, to her delicately textured stud earrings, her work is wonderfully wearable.

Her collection includes tiny wire studs as well as larger statement necklaces. As each piece is hand made, and textured by the threads she uses in her knitting, no two are the same.

Suzanne Claire’s work is made from sterling silver and is also available in an oxidised (blackened) finish, for that extra bit of drama!

“My love for all things colourful and craft orientated blossomed during early childhood from observing two generations of women. I was inspired as a child, from my Mum, her Mum, my Great Auntie and my Nana. It was these same people who shaped my love of what today seems to be lost arts – sewing, knitting and other needle crafts.”

Victoria creates beautifully fluid, organic forms from precious metal. Her designs are often embellished with coloured foils, oxidisation, gold plating or pearls which bring an extra dimension to her work.

Her use of asymmetric design within her earring ranges gives a unique twist on a classic piece of jewellery.

“My pieces are wearable sculptural forms characterised by simple lines and fluid curves, each individually handcrafted from silver using a mixture of contemporary techniques.”

Pieces in this collection start at £60*.
