Isabel White

Issy White’s jewellery is made directly from textures and shapes taken from the natural world. She forages for fragments of nature, like a peeling piece of bark or a fallen seed, and turns them into handcrafted contemporary jewellery using a technique known as ‘lost wax casting’.

By carefully manipulating the metal and embellishing it with precious gemstones, Issy aims to capture Mother Nature and recast it – to turn it into something that connects its wearer back to nature.

Nature is the perfect antidote to disposable fashion which is a powerful force in the jewellery world. Every knot and rivulet in a piece of bark is unique, and Issy tries to respect that in her approach. She uses recycled metals and sustainably sourced stones.

My work is an ode to trees and the stories they tell.
