-ALEX MONROE-

British jewellery designer Alex Monroe grew up in Suffolk surrounded by fields, rivers and the plants and creatures which inhabit them. He trained at Sir John Cass School Of Art in London, and uses nature to inspire his whimsical, intricately beautiful jewellery. Established in 1986, his core aspirations remain unchanged; to make great quality, wearable jewellery, which is originally designed and well priced.

Nature has always been Alex’s greatest inspiration. Whether from travels in Pakistan, walks along the hedgerows of Suffolk or even the Tuscan hills, his designs always remain inherently English. Alex always makes the original by hand in sterling silver, which gives his work its distinctive signature of such exquisite detail. He uses his skills to craft jewellery that is slightly quirky, sometimes cute, but always very feminine.

Alex Monroe has long been a jeweller of choice to the stars, Kate Moss, Lisa Snowdon and Amy Winehouse are all fans, to name a few! He was recently asked to design a piece for the Victoria and Albert Museum, to commemorate the re-opening of the jewellery gallery.

All pieces are made in sterling silver, items shown in gold are 22ct gilded silver.
