Lauren’s passion for design was sparked at 15, during a work experience placement on Baker Street that gave her an early insight into creating high-quality jewellery, bags, and shoes. That experience stayed with her, leading to an internship in quality control at De Beers and further training at Holts Academy in Hatton Garden, now the British Academy of Jewellery.

With over 10 years in the jewellery industry, Lauren loves designing with a modern twist and has a particular passion for Art Deco style. Most rewarding of all is working with clients to transform cherished heirlooms and original materials into breath-taking new pieces, rich with sentimental value.
