Ruth Tomlinson jewellery is driven by her passion for the magic of minutiae, tiny intricacies, small oddities, and preciousness within the world. Ruth’s inspiration comes from the idea of lifecycles, change in nature and the history of jewellery. There are four collections to date including her signature 'Flora' inspired by the delicacy of nature, using a unique combination of porcelain and precious metals, to create romantic and feminine jewels. 'Encrustations' inspired by stories of forgotten underwater worlds, using jewels and colours of the sea; pearl, coral and aqua’s imbedded in layers of silver. There is also the Opulent 'Hoard' collection and the newly formed 'Sketch' series, experiments in drawing with wire.
The Ruth Tomlinson brand has been running for eight years. This year Ruth has gained stockists throughout Europe, Japan and Australia, alongside exhibiting annually at the New York International Gift Fair where she sells work to major gallery stores, boutiques and fine jewellery outlets in the USA.
Ruth has just recently received a 'Coutts New Jeweller Award' to create her new wedding and engagement ring collection, to be shown at Goldsmiths Fair this year, a new venture into the world of fine jewellery.
Ruth Tomlinson was mentored by Pamela Harper in 2009-10
