Bryony Stanford

I am a contemporary jewellery designer and maker based in rural Shropshire.

I first set up my jewellery business in 2011 having graduated in Jewellery and Silversmithing at the School of Jewellery in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter.

I design and make everything myself from home in a converted stable which is powered by wind and photovoltaic cells.

Due to my unusual manufacturing processes the pieces in my compressed collection are completely unique and not able to be identically replicated. Therefore each and every piece is a complete one-off and you will not meet anyone in the street wearing the same. I take my inspiration from the natural world around me, I love how objects and materials weather and alter over time. I apply this notion within my making process by altering forms and allowing the metal to buckle and fold under varying amounts of pressure. This process has even led me to a unique method of setting stones where the metal gradually folds and encases the gemstones.
