MEET THE MAKER
Poppy is a jewellery designer-maker devoted to creating talismans that anchor us to the natural world and our bodies. In her South East London studio, she works with silver and gold to craft refined, sculptural pieces.
Poppy was drawn into the world of jewellery in 2018 while living in Beirut, where she became enthralled by golden relics of the Phoenician, Roman and Byzantine eras displayed in the city’s national museum. There she began her self-taught journey, later elevated by silversmithing training with London’s Central School of Jewellery. She now relishes using the very same techniques used by those lost civilisations that first inspired her; lost wax casting and moving metal with heat and force.
Every piece is made to order by Poppy in her studio. Her hand-carved wax creations are cast in 100% recyled precious metals, finished with ethically-sourced stones and hallmarked by the London Assay Office.
