Bridget Wheatley Contemporary Jewellery

Bridget epitomises the term designer/maker with an instinctive talent and curiosity that has stayed with her from her childhood in rural Hertfordshire. She studied at Watford School of Art and then at Birmingham School of Jewellery. After graduating in 1983, Bridget developed her early distinctive collections in pvc, resin and silver and sold to shops and Galleries around the world, including 'Liberty' of London. In 1985 Bridget moved to Oxfordshire and set up her first workshop 'Unikkii' on the multi cultural Cowley Road. In 2000, she formed Bridget Wheatley Contemporary Jewellery, earning a reputation for her gem set rings and her sometimes bold...sometimes delicate...but always feminine collections. Now Bridget has moved to a purpose built studio to focus on handcrafted, bespoke and small-run collections. While her style evolves and remains instinctive; her quality and wearability remains unaltered. Handmade wedding and engagement rings from collections or with a bespoke service. Using precious metals alone or combined with precious stones to make a piece that is unique for the customer. Stones can be sourced and viewed with no obligation, except a small handling charge. Stones come from UK based companies, that Bridget has been doing business with for 30 years and are ethically sourced. Collections of handcrafted jewellery with varying themes available in silver, silver with a good quality satin gold plate or both 9ct and 18ct gold. Very popular collections are: 'Amy', tiny plumb hearts as earrings and pendants and with freshwater pearls and 'Rose' collection from a small three dimensional rosebud, to a stylised, hollow rose design.
