Made by Hand
At The Illustrated Jeweller, we believe in slow, thoughtful production. Each piece is made by hand, using time-honored techniques that reflect the same values as Sophie Darling.
Meet james
James is an incredibly talented tattoo artist whose passion for intricate design has found a new canvas—jewellery. His journey from tattooing to metalwork is a true testament to his artistic versatility, seamlessly applying his eye for detail to this new medium.
For our collaboration, James has taken the Darling logo—and transformed it into a stunning, handcrafted necklace in gold or silver. The result? 6 Unique pieces that capture the essence of both our creative worlds, made with the same dedication to detail, craftsmanship and ethics that define Sophie Darling.
