Design Diaries

The Illustrated Jeweller is a Brighton-based bespoke jewellery studio founded by tattoo artist turned designer James Robinson. Handcrafted in the UK in solid silver and gold, each piece is set with precious gemstones — from Moonstone and Sapphire to raw and laboratory-grown Diamonds. Inspired by sailors, swallows, and the symbolism of the sea, the collection carries the story of James’ great-great-grandfather Albert Self, lost at sea in 1885. Every piece is emblematic — a fable cast in metal and stone. Specialists in bespoke commissions on request. Featured in Country & Town House and worn by celebrities including Alan Carr.
