…when science & art collide…

I am an independent jewellery designer based on the coast, in Devon, England.

A constant source of inspiration, the glory of the sea from my garden

As a jewellery maker, my aim is to distil natural forms to their simplest, pure shapes, capturing their inifinte beauty. Paring down shapes to create wearable nature. Weird as it seems, I am passionate about lichen! The incredible biology behind the organisms, the shapes and colours are skeletally magnificent. You’ll see many design references to these magical, mini ecosystems crafted into my designs.

Magical ‘finds’ from coastal walks in the shape of discarded shells, seeds & leaves are integrated into designs for pendants and earrings, all set in recycled, precious metals with gemstones.

My stitched work is similarly inspired. Embroidered creations are ‘frozen’ behind museum glass, like historical specimens or botanical drawings of old. The vision is preserved to bring pleasure for years to come.

Step out of the ordinary into a scientific paradise. The organic simplicity of natural forms, to wear, to provoke questions and encourage conversations. Hello and welcome to Sue Thomas Creative.

Nature to adorn

Alpaca nose and muzzle recreated in silver as a sculptural ring. Titanium black, or high polish finish. Wearable art, a statement ring.

Nature embroidered

Hand & machine embroidery, capturing the natural forms of lichen, leaves and pollen.

Infinite circle

The organic simplicity of the infinite circle represents continuity in both nature and affection. Created in recycled silver, the sustainable choice.

Memorial jewellery

Cast in silver or gold, ashes from a treasured pet can be incorporated into a pendant or ring. Forming the texture in precious metal gives a lasting memorial, a unique piece designed, sculpted and cast for you.

Join me in my workshop as I sketch & create distinctive, pared down forms of our natural world.
