We love these elegant yet edgy additions to the START jewellery repertoire.  We love them even more knowing that these beautiful pieces are handcrafted just a hop, skip and jump away from START by jeweller Noemi Klein in her East London studio.

Originating from the West German countryside, Klein began working as a jeweller in East London in 2004. She first started designing and working with metal after being given a cast off piece of machinery by her dentist father, combining her inherited attention to detail and fascination with fancy tools with finding an outlet for her love of fashion, precious materials and unusual imagery. Additional design and silversmithing training at London’s Central Saint Martins and Morley Colleges and an interest in traditional craft and tactile media such as porcelain, silk and natural stones make her approach to jewellery a distinctly modern take on decorative art.

Drawing inspiration from the ephemeral imagery of life and death, favourite reference points have included medieval emblems and the world of the enchanted forest.  Pieces from the current collection are exquisitely detailed and multilayered, featuring diverse figural and floral imagery and reworking elements from vintage jewellery and combining them with an array of precious materials such as silver, gold, coral and semiprecious stones.

An edit of Klein’s necklaces, rings and bracelets is now available in START and will be made available to purchase online any moment!  Can’t wait?  You can ring (+44 207 7033 3951) or email us (onlineshop@start-london.com) for immediate adornment.
