Turner Contemporary
A carefully curated, unique event showcasing independent designers and artisans in Margate.
Margate is a mecca for independent designers and artisans, and has attracted a wide range of exceptional jewellers, each one bringing their own singular style and story to the town.
This show celebrates local talent, and offers an opportunity to shop a wide range of design-led fine and demi-fine jewellery, conceived and constructed in Margate, directly from eight skilled makers.
Meet The Makers
Rosita Bonita
Rosita believes in the transformative and transportive potential of adornments - to ignite joy, conjure confidence, unlock the power of imagination and inspire a sense of wonder.
She creates jewels which evoke an indefinable nostalgia, tapping into ancient & universal themes to dress the most glorious version of you, and encourage a life more magical.
Across the Rosita collections, expect to find dramatic signature styles like Bolo style Lariat necklaces, glamorous collar necklets, chandelier earrings resplendent with shimmying chain tassels and beaded fringes and bold structural super-power rings, alongside simple staples that make the every-day special, with a casual glamour and understated cool all of their own.
Billie Grand
Working solely in precious metals, Billie Grand's creations focus on sculptural, fluid lines with pieces made using techniques in wire, fusing, and wax modelling. Pieces are designed to be playful, expressive and statement-making. Billie Grand works on collections whilst also accepting bespoke commissions. Using ethically sourced, high-quality materials with a focus on sustainability throughout their practice.
Jayne Fowler
Jayne creates one-of-a-kind heirlooms to be passed down through generations.
Cuttlefish casting provides the backbone of her making process, producing textures of raw, unexplainable beauty, and fuelling her constant collaboration with the natural world.
Her inquisitive drive comes from the unpredictability of experimenting with fusing gemstones in to gold & silver - often working with stones traditionally not able to withstand such high temperatures. Her choice of using less durable, but equally special, gemstones is lead by questioning as well respecting tradition.
All her collections are named after long-lost Victorian slang, as she loves reviving the forgotten.
Rebecca Gladstone
Rebecca Gladstone is a British designer based in Margate, creating jewellery that exists in a playful alternate realm. Her pieces embody echoes of myth, symbolism, and humour. Inspired by gothic melodrama, fairy tales, magic, nature, and historical aesthetics woven into contemporary narratives, creating a collection of spirited, whimsical, and sometimes humorous otherworldly pieces. Each piece is designed, made, and forged by hand. Cast in Gold and Silver and offset with a range of shimmering precious and semi-precious gemstones.
Nadia Eloise Jewellery
Inspired by shapes, textures and colours that are all around us, discovering the beauty in the mundane. Playing with everyday shapes and ideas that we disregard and transforming them into wearable art treasures. Nadia makes pieces ranging from bold and chunky rings to delicate and elegant pendants crafted by hand using traditional goldsmithing techniques and lost wax carving to create special pieces.
Smith & Sun
Smith & Sun creates hand-carved jewellery inspired by myth, mysticism, and ancient metalwork. Founder Tara crafts rugged, patinated pieces that echo ancestral talismans, each made with ethically sourced metals, recycled elements, and carefully selected gemstones. Rooted in the belief that we are all connected - past, present, and future - Smith & Sun emphasises environmental responsibility and the healing properties of natural materials. Most creations are one-of-a-kind amulets or small-run editions, with the option for bespoke collaboration.
Barbora Rybarova
Inspired by nature’s raw elegance, Barbora creates one-of-a-kind jewellery and limited collections which celebrate the beauty of rough and uniquely cut gemstones. Her work transforms organic textures and colours into intimate treasures to be cherished.
A bit about me: I graduated in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins College in London in 2009 before embarking on a transformative journey in South America, where I honed my skills alongside talented jewellers and developed a deep passion for gemstones and jewellery making. Upon my return to London in 2012, I continued my creative journey through self-education, constantly pushing the boundaries of traditional jewellery making and design.
Barbora Rybarova Jewellery has been constantly growing and evolving since then. I moved to Margate over 5 years ago where the ever changing sky and sea are a continuous inspiration in my work.
