Dominic Jones Jewellery

Gold Gator Jaw bracelet

Gator Jaw Cuffs (above & below)


Gold Rhinoceros Beetle Ring


After Bugs & Beetles were a predominant theme in this year's Autumn/Winter 2010 shows, Dominic Jones' latest collection has been reawakened as the weather cools and new trends hit the shelves. Dominic's pieces were specially chosen by Sophia Neophitou to accessorize the prestigious Thierry Mugler show.

Dominic launched his first collection in 2009 and has since become a sort after jewellery designer by the likes of Alexa Chung, Beyonce, Vivienne Westwood, Sienna Miller and renowned US Vogue Editor Anna Wintour who may also be to thank for some of his success, after it is now common knowledge that Anna called him in for a one-to-one meeting after hearing of his first collection. Dominic has since twice won the British Fashion Council 'New Generation Award'.

Dominic Jones' natural statement pieces are beautiful yet raw and although many would consider his work grotesque, it just makes me love it even more. He's taken inspiration from an array of creatures such as aligators, bugs, beetles, snails, sharks and crayfish. Dominic's bronze rhinoceros beetle ring caught my eye at first but I now can't stop looking at the huge gold gator cuffs... I may have to resort to wrapping foil around my arms though, unless I stumble across some serious money!
