Choose wisely….

1 - If you picked the Prehnite ring by Pistol and Peach, you’ve picked a stone that represents peacefulness and love. You’re calm, kind and not fussed about frills and fancy.

2 - If you picked the Diamond stacking rings by Adele Taylor, you love abundance! Why choose between metals when you can have gold, silver AND diamond? You form strong attachments to objects and people, and love good company.

3 - If you picked the Silver Flower ring by Teddy De Souza, then simple joys have a big impact on you! Your kind nature means you will always stop to smell the flowers. Your jewellery doesn’t need to be complex to be cherished.

4 - If you picked the Gold and Silver Lichen ring by Melissa Yarlett, you believe that nature is everything. You recharge by taking a walk in the woods and your camera reel is full of close ups of bark and lichen.

5 - If you picked the freeform Frosted Silver ring by Leoma Drew, you’re not fooled by the glitz and glamour of sparkly costume jewellery. You go for subtle, strong and structured. You know what you like, but you can also improvise and go with the flow.

6 - If you picked the Sapphire flower-set ring by Kate Hodgson, you can’t help but be drawn to precious things. You’d gladly lose yourself gazing out over a bright blue ocean, and aren’t afraid of being the brightest star in the sky.

If you like what you see, these rings are all available in our gallery

Woodn't you know, a new maker has arrived in the gallery! Meet Designed By Sembhi

Enjoy our new earrings, pendants, and (the bit we're most excited about) hair pins!

Woodworker Nikita Sembhi is based locally to us in Leeds, and loves to experiment with grain, colour and line to create endless combinations for her wooden jewellery.

Stained and oiled to perfection, with beautiful detail, these tactile and light pieces are a nature-lovers staple. An easy to love and affordable gift for people who understand the joy of materials.

Anti-AI, pro-real people making real art.

Craftsmanship is the antithesis of AI generated images. We take tangible materials and form them through lived experiences, unique perspectives and years of slow practice.

If you can see the value in an object with a story, or an artist with a fresh perspective,

If you crave the tangibility of a beautiful piece of work in your hands, or the weight of slow-crafted jewellery,

If you cringe when you see people wearing t-shirt with stolen images and dream of a peaceful space without a drop of AI,

We're the gallery for you.

New Maker - Coppermoss Jewellery recently sent us a joyful collection of rings, brooches, necklaces and earrings

Some makers stick to a strict palette, but we adore her unrestrained use of colour and texture. She’s also not defined her practice by any particular material or process - her collection carries jewellery made from copper, silver, brass and enamel. That freedom allows her to create playful work.

So have you noticed the common thread in each piece?

Circles are everything. Maybe there’s a deeper meaning for her commitment to roundness or maybe she just likes it! Either way, we’re proud to be sharing her colourful work.

Coppermoss Jewellery can be found in our gallery with a handful of pieces available online

It's always useful to have a small room filled with fragile ceramics to remind you to stay calm šŸ˜…

We're so excited for our Winter Spotlight opening this Saturday, and Jillian Riley's showcase the week after that! It's safe to say we're deep in the busiest time of year now, with Christmas round the corner and an incredible line up of jewellers, ceramicists, sculptors and more. We're keeping our head down and our breathing slow to make sure we bring you an exceptional show, as always

Last chance to see our wonderful showcase featuring Stewart.h.designs - so lets get to know her

Hannah got her knack for design from her mum, a former furniture maker and DT teacher. For a long time she thought she'd go into ceramics, but after one class from a teacher she describes as a Grandad type, she immediately fell in love with woodturning and marquetry.

Her pieces evolve through process. The signature line work that seems to curve around the piece was inspired by wood joining. She chose to push a simple dove tail joint further, and took it to the turning wheel and fell in love. Each piece is a response to playfulness and curiosity. What if this wood was turned like this?

Down the grain, Hannah chooses her woods carefully. Repurposes bannisters, uses wood from a 200 year old fence, and rare purple heart wood (yes, it's naturally purple) imported from Central and South America.

We’re proud to have shared Hannah’s debut collection, ā€˜Turning Connections’, over the past few months. All good things end, so this is the last week before her exhibition closes.

Be sure to pop by to experience this beautiful craftsmanship in person.

Only at Craft Leeds til October 3rd
