Jessica de Lotz Jewellery
London
Discover storytelling jewellery with Jessica de Lotz, unique personalised pieces made by hand in London at Jessica's studio-workshop in Kentish Town. Jessica is one to bookmark for gifts and treats for yourself, full of meaning, nostalgia and storytelling with modern-day influences. Jessica calls her customers her storytellers, and it's that caring, thoughtful relationship that creates designs with emotions, memories, sentimentality, symbolism and heritage.
Jessica studied her craft at Central Saint Martins, where she graduated in 2008 to award-winning praise and success, including several high-profile awards including the Coutts New Jewellers Award. Jessica immediately set up her namesake business which stands strong today, female-founded and a pillar of the local community. You'll find Jessica at her workbench in the shop, behind a peep-hole window, she she handcrafts all of her designs with her team and materials sourced from local partners, supporting the jewellery trade she was schooled in.
The essence of every JdL piece is uniqueness - pieces tailored entirely to each wearer, inviting questions of meaning and symbolism. Whether it’s celebrating life and love or commemorating loss, you'll discover truly special, one-of-a-kind, modern heirlooms that wearers cherish forever and pass to future generations.
Jessica's acclaim is known far and wide, including Hollywood, where Jessica enjoys collaborating with costume designers to create jewellery for Film and TV. In recent years, her jewellery has featured in Greta Gerwig’s Oscar-nominated film Little Women and last year in HBO's award-winning House of the Dragon, creating pieces for many of the cast's lead characters.
A-lister fans include Helena Bonham Carter, Cara Delevingne and Killing Eve’s Villanelle aka Jodie Comer.
Inspired by her beloved late father, an antiquarian book dealer, Jessica grew up surrounded by beautiful antique books that her father would care for “as if they were a friend of mine”. Jessica drew on this appreciation when she became a collector of found objects; everything from love letters, identity cards and mixed ephemera, to evocative sepia photographs and miniature matchboxes; all became a playground for Jessica’s imagination.
