Lesley H Phillips Jewellery

Beautiful handmade silver jewellery featuring contemporary designs

It’s easy to see why Vogue magazine featured Lesley H Phillips’ exquisite handmade jewellery in a piece entitled ‘Beautifully Bespoke.’ Working from a studio at her Dorset home, Lesley puts her heart and soul into every piece she makes.
Favourite piece? I tend to love the latest design I’m working on, because of the passion I feel for it throughout the weeks it takes to create and perfect.
What inspires you? I adore the sleek and clean lines of the early 20th century, the Art Deco era. There’s a timelessness to the geometric designs. And living near the Jurassic Coast, I can’t avoid inspiration from the landscape around me!
What’s special? As well as offering a recycled silver range, I only buy my bullion from dealers who adhere to the golden rules of mining, which protects mine workers’ rights and the surrounding countryside. I largely use tools dating back to ancient times and many of my designs could never be replicated by machines because they are so intricate.
What got you started? I undertook a silversmiths course and straight away knew that I’d found my true vocation. In 2008 I left my job in the financial world and have been designing and making ever since.
