Romany began her journey in jewellery in 2017 after graduating from Glasgow Kelvin, bringing together her passion, skill, and dedication to her craft. Inspired by the beauty of jewellery and the way it moves with the wearer, Romany takes a thoughtful approach to every piece, focusing on how it interacts with the body.
Blending modern innovation with timeless techniques, she embraces tools like CAD and 3D printing to push boundaries while staying true to the tactile art of handcrafting at the bench. The result is a perfect harmony of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design.
DESIGN INFLUENCES
Romany’s design style is all about bold geometric shapes and architectural details, with standout pieces like the Corrosion Pendulum Necklace. She has a real love for triangles, sharp angles, and unique features, drawing inspiration from brutalist architecture and the unexpected patterns she’s discovered in places like Morocco.
RESPONSIBLE PRACTICES
Transitioning into fine jewellery, Romany prefers substantial, well-crafted pieces, eschewing fragility. Responsible material sourcing is central to her design philosophy, emphasising ethical practices, transparency, and a focus on stones from ethical suppliers like Maira at Gemstones Brazil.
TRUST
Integral to Romany's success is the paramount importance she places on building trust, especially when collaborating with bespoke clients entrusting her with heirloom pieces. Remodelling becomes a significant facet of her work, bringing joy in rejuvenating cherished items. A discernible trend is the increasing number of independent women purchasing her pieces, reflecting a transformative shift in jewellery buying.
