British Fashion Council Jewellery Showcase

Established in 2021 by Liam Winter, The Winter House is a British fine jewellery brand based in Manchester. At the core of the brand is Winter’s desire to produce work that exists as both art and design, resulting in evocative, emotive and often surreal collections. Elevating the mundane and overlooked, Winter explores what exists outside of the collective gaze: a cracked pavement, an overgrown alley, the hazy glow of streetlamps reflected in the rain. Combining this unique viewpoint with techniques from figurative sculpture, as well as traditional jewellery-making processes, manifests in unique pieces that are both surreal and non-conformist.

Bleue Burnham is a London-based jewellery brand established by Bleue Wickham-Burnham in 2018. Born from the urge to create jewellery with timeless beauty and of extraordinary quality, and with a focus to amplify the beauty of the connection between human culture and the natural world. Bleue Burnham won the British Fashion Council/GQ award, becoming the first ever jewellery designer to do so, a testament to his skill in combining playful design and classic elegance.

Dévé is a demi-fine jewellery brand rooted in Mediterranean heritage, blending timeless design with a commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability and ethical practices. Inspired by founder Estelle Dévé’s upbringing in Southern France and Catalonia, the brand reflects the optimism and enduring beauty of a permanent summer. Inspiration is found in the bold aesthetics of Modernist architects, industrial designers and artists like Matisse and Picasso, drawing from the rich culture of the Mediterranean. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted to feel timeless and meaningful, balancing bold, modern aesthetics with softer, organic shapes.

London-based designer, Octi Ransom, captures fragments of nature and transforms them into precious metals. Nature is always in flux, shaped by erosion, decay and human interaction. Octi preserves these moments in time. Moulds of natural forms, often items that would otherwise be considered waste, are sculpted into wearable forms – designed and hand-made locally in London using recycled precious metals. From objects otherwise considered redundant, Octi creates long-lasting, sentimental pieces of beauty. 

The aesthetic of The Ouze is rooted in founder Toby Vernon’s interest in antique and heirloom jewellery that has been passed down through generations and weathered by time. Aiming to capture the same enduring beauty in everything The Ouze creates, Toby refers to history and tradition when designing, combining this with his obsession with raw and organic forms and the celebration of imperfections left in the evidence of the human when creating jewellery by hand. With his background in Fashion Design, Vernon developed a unique set of design references that continually inform his work at The Ouze.
