About Helen…

Helen is a self-taught Goldsmith, having studied a BA(Hons) in Design Crafts at Hereford College of Arts. Graduating in 1999 and subsequently launching 'Helen Brice Designs', her mixed-media background allows her to approach jewellery design from a somewhat unorthodox perspective. Preferring to create new work at the bench, rather than in a sketchbook, she often designs for a specific gemstone or setting.

Helen enjoys creating jewellery that is emotionally significant to her customers, frequently re-modelling their own or inherited jewellery with feature sentimental gemstones, or working to commission to create special, bespoke heirloom pieces for future generations.

Rings are a particular favourite, representing so many important life events and embracing interaction with the wearer - a reassuring remembrance of a moment or sentiment that can be enjoyed every day. The asymmetric designs stem from love of architectural and organic detailing, pattern and texture, and Helen uses different finishes and contrasting materials - mainly Gold, but also Sterling Silver & Platinum - to compliment the specially selected gems.

Helen's unique style has manifested as a growing series of signature 'Showstoppers!'. These highly coveted, one-of-a-kind pieces are instantly recognisable and Helen particularly enjoys designing these bespoke pieces for her clients, welcoming the opportunity to explore her creativity through new and innovative jewellery.
