I first connected with Jeremy back in 2021, when I discovered his truly unique and beautiful art. As a lifelong bookworm and ring lover, his technique immediately spoke to me—after all, it embodied two of my greatest passions: books and rings. Since then, I’ve shared his incredible work many times. He took part in my Questionnaire project in 2022, and most recently, when I shared the most-liked rings from the past five years to celebrate my page’s anniversary, one of his creations reached over 2.9 million views (the ring shown above) It is very much on my bucket list to one day commission a ring from Jeremy, made from my favorite book in the world: Contact , by Carl Sagan. And although rings are my thing, Jeremy also creates the most unique earrings, bracelets, pendants, necklaces, brooches and sculptures. You can see it all on his website (by clicking on his name below). JEREMY MAY I have been fascinated by paper for nearly 20 years. To me, paper holds a unique quality—not only does it carry narrative and knowledge, but it can also be transformed into a material that renders these narratives wearable. I work predominantly with secondhand books as my material source. The book, both as a used object and as a bearer of stories, is my direct inspiration and a central element in how I create one-off jewels. I am endlessly intrigued by the individuality of each used book, the traces of its past readers—the folded pages, makeshift bookmarks, notes in the margins. From the beginning, I have sought to create unique pieces. Each book is an individual object, and therefore each jewel must be equally individual. After reading a book, I choose a direct quote that captures its essence for me. I then envision its form, colour, and appearance, sketching the idea on paper before I begin sculpting the book itself. In this way, the book becomes ‘unreadable,’ yet its story remains intact, carried within the jewel. Each jewel is impossible to replicate. Its beauty runs deep within the piece: text and image pass all the way through the material, revealed only at the surface. Over the years, I have had the honor of exhibiting my work in prestigious venues around the world, with several pieces now part of museum collections. I created my very first paper ring in September 2007, and by January 2009 my literary jewels were being introduced to the public. What began as a personal exploration has since transformed paper into a medium that aspires to last and to bring joy, color, and love to all who value sustainability. Today, I continue to work on private commissions while developing themed collections of jewels that are presented in exhibitions worldwide. I live and work in London, always pushing forward with each new piece, driven by a thirst for discovery, uniqueness, and the sublime. @jeremymayjewels

Born in London from Karoline Healy’s vision, H₂ERǴ is a jewelry brand that looks to the past and the future at once. Drawing on science, history, and the quiet beauty of natural forms, each piece is crafted in recycled silver and ethical materials — jewelry that shines with both meaning and care. When I first saw her work I was intrigued and mesmerized – the concept, the process and the research that goes into her work is simply amazing. Here is her story! H₂ERǴ - KAROLINE HEALY I learned the basics of jewelry during a semester of my degree course at Nottingham Trent University here in the UK. Quite a few years had passed before I decided to pick up the tools again. I then started practicing what I already learned and then developing new skills like stone settings, delft casting & wax work through trial and error, watching YouTube and tips from online blogs.  For years, I had been working as a materials researcher in the design & architecture industry, so I have always been inquisitive to uncovering the latest innovations, new technologies, looking to understand regenerative material flows, and sustainability.  I had become obsessed with New Scientist magazine, and science in general. I wanted a creative outlet to explore the ideas, concepts and forms found in science, nature and the universe. So I set up my jewelry brand H₂ERǴ, the aim was to use craft and making to explore future concepts.  My first collection was called Natural Basics. It was a speculation on a future where me might be able use biotechnologies and altered nature to grow metals into everyday day jewelry. I made a chain with links that are inspired by roots and hoop earrings by microscopic filamentous structures from mycelium called hyphae.  My work draws inspiration from a wide range of sources; natural growth formations like plant tendrils, animals and microorganisms, surrealism, antique German ironwork & ancient forged throwing knives My work always centers on the materials, so looking at what is next.  Aside from jewelry collection and bespoke commissions, I have been working on my ongoing research project Future Metals.  This is a long-term investigation where I my goal is to make the most sustainable gold ring to exist. I am exploring regenerative & biological methods, bio mining, to recover precious metals for jewelry. In collaboration with Phyona I made a ring using metals mined by plants, the process is called Phytomining. Phyona are biology start up from the UK who are using plants to mine metals from contaminated soils and landscapes. My ring contains a rich mix of metals like silver, titanium, lead, nickel, copper, and zinc, which was recovered from the polluted soils of historical mining site in Barnsley. The plants suck up metals from the soil, through their roots into the leaves and stems. The plants are then harvested and the metallic compounds recovered. These miners are native species of plants like foxgloves, thistles and grasses. In addition, beyond this I am looking to collaborate with other scientists working with bacteria to recover precious metals from local waste streams.   @h2erg_jewellery

Sanaz and I connected over four years ago, and it’s been a true joy to witness her work receive the recognition it so deeply deserves. Originally from Iran, she has lived all around the globe before settling in Toronto—a city I hold dear—back in 2021. Her pieces are rooted in her cultural heritage, and her distinctive voice in jewelry is both delicate and powerful, architectural and sinuous. Her work has been shown around the world during jewelry weeks and has earned prestigious awards—testament to the strength and poetry she brings to each piece. I am so happy to share her story and some of her beautiful creations today. SANAZ DOOST I left my motherland all by myself when I was 19 to study abroad, explore the world, and, in many ways, find myself. Since then, I’ve lived across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and now North America. Along the way, I studied in different countries and universities—each experience shaping how I see the world and how I create. Travel remains an essential part of who I am. I truly can’t imagine life without immersing myself in different cultures, traditions, and art forms—it continues to nourish my curiosity and design philosophy. My introduction to jewelry began with traditional craftsmanship. I first trained in the Grand Bazaar of Shiraz, learning fundamentals using old-world tools like the low-flame torch and foot-powered bellows. Later, while living in Istanbul for a year, I continued my goldsmithing studies in the city’s historic Grand Bazaar. I then completed my traditional training in Kuala Lumpur, working closely with Southeast Asian masters and refining my technique during the nearly decade I lived in Southeast Asia. After completing my Master of Philosophy of Art, I moved to Toronto to pursue an Advanced Diploma in Jewelry Arts—a three-year, studio-intensive program that gave me a strong technical foundation and space to develop my own voice as a designer. I also hold a Bachelor of Industrial Design, which continues to inform the structure, balance, and sculptural nature of my work. My designs blend cultural storytelling with contemporary form. Drawing from Eastern geometry, Silk Road symbolism, and poetic themes of light, transformation, and resilience, I create bold, architectural jewelry that resonates on both personal and universal levels. Blending East to West is who I am, and this dialogue of cultures is reflected in every piece. From the intricate lattice of the  Moshabak  collection to the symbolic elegance of the  Lotus  ring, each design is a reflection of heritage reimagined through a modern lens. I am deeply committed to producing my work locally in Toronto, supporting Canadian artisans—many of whom are women and immigrants like myself. Sustainability and ethical craftsmanship are at the heart of my practice. I prioritize sourcing natural, traceable gemstones and Canadian diamonds, and I strive to minimize waste through thoughtful design and production methods. Supporting local businesses and communities is not only a value but a responsibility I embrace fully. Looking ahead, I’m excited to grow a brand that honors these principles while expanding internationally. After showcasing at COUTURE in Las Vegas, I look forward to sharing jewelry that bridges cultures, craft, and identity with a global audience. @sanaz.doost
