Polly Wales studied Fine Art Sculpture before following her passion for
jewelry at the Royal College of Art in London. She has found a way to combine
her skills as a sculptor, her love of traditional casting and carving
techniques and her craftsmanship to create one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry.
Her current collections have a raw, unconventional beauty created by the
ancient jewelry-making technique known as lost wax casting. Her work creates
the impression that, rather than being precisely set, the gemstones have serendipitously found their way into the gold. Married with the rich colors and
beautiful cuts of fine gem stones, Polly uses multi-colored sapphires and
rubies and raw diamonds directly cast into gold, creating pieces that resemble natural
gem encrusted forms, like sparkling geodes split open, or discoveries from the
deep. This unorthodox process is unique to Polly and has become her signature
style creating stunning, timeless treasures to cherish forever.
