Talia Heritage is an independent jewellery designer working from her studio in Deal on the Kent coast. She designs and handcrafts pieces influenced by natural textures and by her Middle Eastern and Scandinavian heritage. Organic shapes and understated forms are developed through the making process, allowing small variations to remain part of each piece's character. Her collections include silver and gold-filled jewellery, gemstones and designs intended for comfortable everyday wear. Pieces are made to order in a small-scale practice that limits unnecessary production. Alongside developing new techniques and collections in the studio, she meets customers at Deal's market and shares the stories behind the work.
