Meet the Founder
Agata Karwowska is a goldsmith, art enthusiast, and advocate of ornament. With her creations inspired by minerals and architecture, she promotes a more sustainable approach to fine jewellery, believing artistic refinement leads to more meaningful investing.
The journey
Agata's path to jewellery design has been defined by continuous challenge and growth. Starting her career as a self-taught goldsmith, she discovered and experimented with new techniques. Committed to expanding her technical skills, Agata later pursued formal training at the British Academy of Jewellery in London, along with in-depth tutoring in stone setting.
After graduating, she refined her skills in traditional manufacturing at Hatton Garden 22, where she observed and learned from masters in stone setting and diamond mounting.
Embarking on a research-based MA in Jewellery & Silversmithing at London Metropolitan University and a Classical Architecture Workshop at Oxford University was integral to shaping Agata's design-oriented approach.
Agata's work was featured at the SHINE 2021 exhibition at the Goldsmiths' Centre, where she debuted the 'Evergreen' Collection, showcasing the debossing technique on jeweller’s wax.
Design ethos
Rooted in a profound connection to art, Agata Karwowska’s jewellery is a testament to authentic craftsmanship. With each piece exclusively handmade, she shapes an individual narrative that resonates with the wearer’s identity. Bold and fearless in design, her creations challenge convention by confronting the ordinary. Balancing beauty with integrity, every piece is crafted to endure and inspire, transcending trends.
Her jewellery captivates those who seek creative brilliance and extravagant design. For individuals who appreciate bold textures and architectural forms, each creation marks the beginning of a journey—an investment in personal expression and uncompromised quality, set apart from the conventional.
Behind the Creation
Demonstrating a sculptural approach to jewellery, Agata works with hand-carved wax, cast through the ancient lost-wax technique, and fire-texturing gold wire to compose rich, tactile surfaces.
Her work blends architectural rhythm with mineral complexity, exploring the ideas of growth, strength, and balance through metal surfaces. Each piece is created with precision and vision, where form carries meaning, and the material becomes the narrative.
