Jessie Thomas: Between New Values and Tradition
The radical elegance that characterizes jewelry by Jessie Thomas is the result of an invaluable heritage
The designer and goldsmith Jessie Thomas learned the “craft” from her father, David Thomas, a famous English master goldsmith who, in the 1960s, helped create a new wave for gold jewelry: some of his pieces feature in permanent collections at institutions including the V&A and the Goldsmiths Company. Jessie now continues to work with her father in the family workshop in Chelsea, which also has a sales area open to the public. While strictly following traditional processes, the designer's unique style infuses each piece of jewelry with extraordinary contemporaneity.
