Diane Levitt
As a jeweller, my work is deeply inspired by the natural world. Living in the heart of Constable Country provides me with an endless source of inspiration, where the shapes and lines found in nature often spark the beginnings of my designs.
I am passionate about sustainability, using recycled and ethically sourced materials to ensure my work reflects a respect for the environment. Colour plays a significant role in my creations, achieved through the incorporation of enamels, stones, and glass. On seaside holidays, you’ll often find me combing the beaches for sun-bleached coral or other washed-up treasures to incorporate into my designs, giving each piece a unique story.
Every item I create is handmade and one-of-a-kind. While some designs may be revisited, no two are ever truly identical. I particularly enjoy working on commissions, collaborating with clients to craft bespoke pieces filled with personal meaning and sentiment.
I am proud to have graduated from the John Cass Department of Art in Silversmithing, Jewellery, and Allied Crafts in 2001. During my studies, I was honoured to receive a Goldsmiths’ Company Metal Bursary and a British Jewellers’ Association Certificate of Merit, achievements that continue to inspire and shape my practice.
