with Luke Brient
In this week's episode, Jess chats to Luke Brient, a jeweller who specialises in unisex jewellery featuring large gemstones and unique textures from sandcasting, shares his journey into the craft.
Initially studying Industrial Design at Loughborough University, Luke turned to jewellery making during the COVID-19 lockdown, inspired by a stint working at a jewellery packaging company.
He discusses his process, including his early experiments with 3D printing and sandcasting, and how his business grew primarily through Instagram, starting with friends and family. Today, Luke's business is mostly bespoke, with customers drawn to his distinctive style, though his collections serve as a guide for those seeking custom pieces.
