Silver Oak Bark Necklace

Sussex-based jeweller Issy White transforms fragments of nature into stunning contemporary pieces using the ancient lost wax casting technique. Her distinctive work begins outdoors, foraging bark from English Oak, Hawthorn and London Plane trees, fallen seeds and natural textures which are then cast in bronze, sterling silver or gold. With nearly two decades of experience and training from Holts Jewellery Academy, each piece is carefully manipulated to harmonise with the body's contours, often embellished with precious gemstones including sapphires, tourmalines and diamonds. Working from her studio, Issy creates jewellery that captures the raw beauty of the British landscape, where every ring, earring and pendant tells the story of a tree's journey. Her sustainable approach celebrates the textures found within flora and fauna, creating timeless pieces that connect wearers back to nature whilst showcasing exceptional British craftsmanship and an obsession with preserving the natural world's exquisite detail.
