craftsmanship

Craftsmanship is at the core of what we do. Our jewels are not traditional, and nor is our approach to their creation. The Ruth Tomlinson aesthetic is organic, natural, textured, and yet highly detailed and refined, and our craftsmanship reflects this through every stage of the jewellery’s journey, from inception to finished jewel.

Ruth is a designer/maker, she designs during the making process rather than materialising a sketch or drawing. The jewels come to life at the jewellery bench, where she pushes boundaries and experiments with new techniques. It is during this process that the design is refined and all the intricacies considered.

While Ruth makes the first of each design, we have a team of skilled goldsmiths, based in the workshop within our Atelier, who make further editions of our collection pieces, who customise designs to our customers desires, and who assist Ruth with our bespoke commissions. Much of our stone setting is done inhouse too. It’s a collaborative effort to make a Ruth Tomlinson jewel, with several hands playing a role in the journey to finished product, each adding their own expertise along the way.

Our purpose built workshop is based on the 1st floor of our Atelier, and we welcome our customers to have a peep in at where their jewels are created, if they so wish. Do let our team know during your visit.

our ethos

We believe that every jewel should be unique, just like the individuals who wear and enjoy them. That's why we treat our materials with respect, celebrating their particular character and highlighting their special qualities, whether these are unusual internal inclusions, or the imperfect forms of hand cut antique stones.

We offer a unique experience and service to our customers and we cherish the relationships we form through the jewels we share a passion for. We stand by our alternative techniques and processes in an industry dominated by mainstream practice and product, and we are continually educating ourselves about different ways we can make improvements to our sustainability as a small business in the jewellery industry.
