Sally Lees (London) Contemporary Jewellery

Sally Lees designs and makes limited edition men’s cufflinks in addition to cufflinks for women, bangles, pendants, bracelets, earrings and rings in her central London studio, Cockpit Arts.

Inspiration comes from nature with orchids and roses drawn to produce semi abstract shapes. Aluminium sheet is decorated by hand with delicate, intricately printed floral patterns taken from Sally’s original line drawings. After being printed the aluminium is dyed in magnificent colours and takes on an antique look with mirror like finishes reminiscent of Japanese lacquer.

Sally is a member of British Jewellers Association, Association for Contemporary Jewellery and Craft Central and is featured on the Crafts Council National Directory of Makers and Cockpit Arts website.

Join Sally to learn how to design and make your own jewellery on her Contemporary Jewellery course at Cockpit Arts. To book contact Designer Courses.

Sally’s stylish men’s collections of cufflinks have been featured in Wedding Day magazine, Guardian Christmas Gift Guide 2007, Bristol Magazine and the London Evening Standard in addition to international magazines Grand Magasin (Japan) and Pursuit (South Africa).
