Polly Wales pushes blue sapphire into rougher territory, casting inverted stones directly into a domed 18K gold pendant. Uneven, tactile and unapologetically raw, it makes precious feel dangerous.

Polly Wales Jewelry

LOS ANGELES - Polly Wales redefined contemporary fine jewelry with her signature cast-not-set technique, embedding sapphires, rubies, and diamonds directly into molten gold. Trained as a sculptor at the Royal College of Art, she approaches each piece as an organic composition, where gemstones emerge naturally from richly textured surfaces. Bold, unconventional, and instantly recognizable, her work blurs the line between fine jewelry and wearable sculpture.
