Company description
Sustainably crafted by hand in the Cotswolds, Pascale James is a contemporary fine jewellery brand with a distinct sculptural aesthetic founded by designer-maker couple, Antonia Pascale and Christopher James in 2015.
The narrative of their brand is infused with an environmental consciousness as the couple choose to work with only Fairtrade solid precious metals and responsibly mined, conflict free and fully traceable Canadian diamonds, crafting each piece to order.
Starting the brand in London, they recently moved their workshop in Battersea to the Cotswolds close to where they have opened their first store. With Christopher James creating every piece by hand and Antonia designing and leading the creative direction of the brand, the couple work closely together to ensure each and every design and business decision is considered and harmless to the planet. Their designs subtly convey this passion for looking outward to nature and the environment and this can be seen in the minute detail of each piece.
The couple believe in an unhurried approach to true craftsmanship, deciding not to create collections in line with the seasons, instead focusing on creating pieces that are made to stand the test of time. They see their creations as honest heirlooms - made using only sustainable and ethical materials.
The couple also offer a bespoke service that sees them adapting some of their own signature designs for clients as well as adhering to more traditional aesthetics in crafting classical pieces or creating new from old in re-working heirlooms. They create anything from engagement rings and wedding bands, pieces to mark a momentous occasion through to wearable, everyday classics.
