I first discovered Bill Skinner jewellery on the V & A website somewhere I often look for presents due to the originality of most of the pieces. Bill Skinner's jewellery is fairly reasonably priced especially considering the unique aspect to all of his designs.
Bill Skinner studied at Sir John Cass college of art and after graduation he began freelancing for companies in London such as Asprey, Garrads and Van Cleef and Arpels. Then in the 1980s he began working with Vivienne Westwood and Butler and Wilson this is when he became truly known in the world of fashion jewellery. His work then progressed into a thriving business that it still is today making a wide range of jewellery which even included some which was royally commissioned.
Then in January 2012 he launched his first 'Bill Skinner' range. Each piece was hand carved by him and his UK studio team. He has received much critical claim which has enabled him to continuously created successful pieces.
Pictured below is a ring I received as an 18th birthday present from my godparents. The bee on honey is also available in a bracelet.
