Raw Staurolite Statement Ring 14 K in Yellow Gold F. by Artist

Sheila Westera creates Wearable Art from her studio in Switzerland. Her free flow gold wire bending and unique natural nuggets result in a truly Couture Collection, as no two pieces are ever the same! She personally makes each piece, ensuring an inimitable level of exclusivity. Sheila Westera London is rapidly making a name amongst discerning collectors tired of the repetitiveness in mainstream jewellery. Her idiosyncratic Statement Designs, result in the Cocktail Ring, Cuff, or Collar they are wearing, being ‘The Talk of the Party'. Sheila worked for over a decade in Amsterdam’s jewellery trade, but feels no urge to design with the faceted diamonds for which the industry is so famous. Instead, she is drawn to natural gemstones, compelled to use One-of-a-Kind chunks of raw materials in her creations. She started designing Bespoke Jewellery living in London 6 years ago. Her original inspiration was repurposing waste washed up on the shore of her Lake Geneva holiday home. Environmental responsibility, an important part of Sheila’s life since her youth in the Netherlands, resulted in her combining her art and architecture education with those ethics to create beauty from debris. Initially purely a project for personal fulfilment, Sheila allowed the collection to be exhibited at an Amsterdam gallery, resulting in critical acclaim. Her distinctive 'wire bending' was particularly applauded, with the now patented technique becoming the cornerstone of the Sheila Westera London brand
