Collection: The Ouze

Toby Vernon first started experimenting with jewellery making during the first lockdown whilst in his home town Lewes in East Sussex. Learning about the ancient lost wax technique, he quickly became obsessed with the raw and organic forms that could be carved from wax and turned into precious metal. Celebrating imperfections left by his own hands, he decided to leave pieces unpolished and raw. Showing evidence of the human hand overall the jewellers surface.

The aesthetic of The Ouze is rooted in Toby's interest in antique and heirloom jewellery that has been passed down through generations and weathered by time.  Aiming to capture the same enduring beauty in everything The Ouze creates, Toby always refers to history and tradition when designing.
