_My Favourite Jeweller, ever.





_Scott Wilson.

Born into the fashion world after his training with Karl Lagerfeld in his studio whilst at the Royal College of Art, Scott Wilson has gone from strength to strength with his eponymous collection. His clients read like a who’s who A-list international celebrities and designers, from Thierry Mugler to Marc Jacobs and Hussein Chalayan with whom he had one of his most successful collaborations. Scott’s collaborations continued throughout 2006, creating the showpieces for Mathew Williamson and as the creative project manager for Marc Jacobs Jewellery. His jewellery is often featured in international fashion publications, from W magazine to Italian Vogue; stylists Jane How, Patti Wilson and Sarah Richardson regularly commission pieces from Scott Wilson for their visually striking shoots.

Scott Wilson’s collection is now stocked by the world’s most famous and revered shopping temples such as Liberty, Browns, Harrods (London), Colette (Paris), Harvey Nichols (Istanbul and Hong Kong), Al Ostoura (Kuwait), Freeshop (Greece) and Tearose (Italy), where buyers are continually impressed and in awe of his work.

“craftsmanship tends to get overlooked in jewellery but it is so important to Scott’s work. The finish is impeccable. He would never let a piece of jewellery leave his studio if he’s not 100% happy with it” - Valery Demure.
