About the Designer
Bronagh is an award winning jewellery designer and maker creating hand crafted pieces in her central London workshop. Her work is inspired by her love of three dimensional patterns and structures found in architecture and the urban environment.
Her work is characterised by a fusion of traditional crafts techniques with elements of new technologies to great strong geometric pieces with great attention to detail and an elegant balance of proportion and symmetry.
Prior to embarking on a career in jewellery Bronagh was an Urban Designer working for design consultancies in the UK and abroad.
She completed a Masters Degree in Jewellery Design (with Distinction) in 2008 and prior to this she undertook a two year City and Guilds jewellery course. Both were undertaken at Sir John Cass School of Art, Media and Design in London.
Bronagh has won a number of awards, most notably from The Goldsmiths Company and was selected to exhibit work at New Designers in 2007 and 2008.
