Oriana Evan’s is an independent jewellery maker from Lewes, specialising in hand-made and bespoke silver and gold necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Her designs take inspiration from nature and the life stories of those around her. Oriana understands that jewellery traverses a lifetime; a new story added with each wear. When making each piece, she imagines a whole lifetime of moments distilled into the metal. All her pieces are highly textured, so she works by hand, exaggerating hand-made, organic marks. Oriana says: ‘When we wear jewellery we build a relationship with each piece by touching it, holding it, wearing it, and that informs every blow of my hammer and every scrape of my file.’
