Jeweller Of The Month

August- Rosa Pietsch

Rosa Pietsch creates strikingly original designs that mix materials, textures and processes. All designs are lovingly crafted by hand in Bristol.

Inspiration comes from a wide and eclectic range of sources, from vintage prints and embroideries to contemporary geometric shapes.

After initially training in womenswear design, Rosa spent several years working in textiles and accessories. Alongside this she began developing her own range of handmade jewellery, and in 2012 began selling her designs online and in person.

Rosa has developed her own creative processes, combining laser-cutting technology with handmade and hand-finished techniques, resulting in pieces that are truly unique. Designs range from intricate statement pieces, to simple yet eye-catching everyday items.
