Between ornament and artefact
Dominique is a London-based jewellery designer whose practice originates in illustration.
Working across textile and metal, she translates lace and ornamental trimmings into silver and vermeil through lost wax casting, preserving their structure in permanent form. Her work explores the tension between softness and structure, where drawing becomes object and fragile materials are recast as something enduring.
She holds a Master’s degree from the Royal College of Art and has undertaken specialist training in jewellery techniques at K2 Academy, Forge Space and Jewellers Academy in London.
Her work is defined by a consistent material language, where repetition, surface and negative space function as a form of drawing in three dimensions.
The pieces exist between ornament and artefact, holding the trace of something once soft, now made permanent.
Craft and contemplation
Working from my East London studio, I approach jewellery-making as both craft and contemplation. Every stage — from carving wax to casting, finishing, and polishing — is guided by touch and attention. Imperfections are embraced as traces of the hand, reminders of the human presence behind every piece.
Memory and emotion
Rooted in my background in fashion and fine art, and shaped by my Master’s degree in Illustration from the Royal College of Art in London, my ethos is to create jewellery that feels timeless yet alive — objects that hold memory, emotion, and the strength found in softness.
In every collection, the dialogue between material and form continues to evolve — a practice grounded in curiosity, connection, and story telling.
