Jess Blak has always been inspired by texture – the way things feel and look is a crucial aspect of her design process. A background in sculpture paired with a fascination for how built environments clash with natural surroundings – ruins, relics and wrecks, for example – offers insight into where Jess’ sense of aesthetics originates. The skilled jeweller has been crafting unique pieces for several years, building up a following as an artisan in demand with her range of ethically wrought wares. From Jess Blak’s earrings and chokers to stone-encrusted rings, each piece boasts an ageless quality – as if they were assembled by craftspeople of civilisations long extinct.

Following a rebrand (and a sojourn to Paris Fashion Week), Jess has opened a store and workshop in Winn Lane, where folks can inspect the pieces up close and interact with the designer herself. No two Jess Blak pieces are ever the same – each piece is constructed using recycled silver and lab-grown stones. With a workshop on site Jess is able to showcase new pieces regularly, in addition to creating custom pieces for those after a more personal touch. Jess Blak’s boutique is now open in Winn Lane.
