Polly Wales’ jewellery celebrates imperfection with her eroded gold and mosaic gemstones, drawing from an eclectic mix of references from Byzantine and Indian jewellery. “We make jewellery that never has a perfect moment”, Polly says. “The moment I’m talking about of shiny newness that somehow heralds the beginning of the end, resulting in jewellery that makes impossible demands to be kept pristine polished and safe guarded. The process behind the backbone of our work is to cast an array of gemstones inside precious metal, to create pieces that always have unique and slightly unpredictable outcomes with a rough luxe, ‘from the earth’ aesthetic-like geodes split open as stones break through at random points to penetrate the surface of the gold.”
Polly lives and works in the UK creating responsibly and ethically crafted luxury jewellery.
