Issy White is an independent jeweller based on the edge of London. She turns elements of nature into jewellery that captures the beauty of the world around us.

“All of my pieces begin outdoors.

From my studio on the edge of Epping Forest, I forage for tiny instances of Mother Nature – like peeling tree bark or a fallen seed. I turn these fragments into handcrafted contemporary jewellery using a technique known as ‘lost wax casting’.

After casting the foraged fragments in bronze, silver or gold, I carefully manipulate the metal – priming and polishing, bending and burnishing, helping the organic shape to fit the contours of our own natural bodies.

My aim is for my jewellery is to capture nature and recast it for you.”
