Olivia Taylor is a designer and jewellery-maker based in Scotland. In 2019, after graduating from Glasgow School of Art, she created a brand of timeless, contemporary jewellery, translating her love for design and fine jewellery into a new form of statement pieces.
Inspired by Japanese architecture and design philosophy, the 2020 Ondulée collection consists of delicate necklaces, statement bracelets, elegant earrings and eye-catching rings, all with the signature Ondulée design. This elegant yet structural design is unique and catches the light beautifully in every piece. The minimalist Ondulée design allows each piece to be versatile for any occasion in addition to some pieces having multiple ways to style, allowing for an easy day to night look to be achieved.
Each piece of jewellery is handmade using ethically sourced precious metals. Olivia is environmentally conscious in her design process and recycles every piece of offcut. She transforms them into new pieces, giving the piece new purpose, creating very little waste.

Using traditional techniques, she brings geometric shapes and striking line intersections together into organic, wearable pieces. I worked with Olivia during lockdown to bring her jewellery collection to life through a number of art directed shoots. As well as taking on the role of art director, I also produced and styled the shoot.
