From the considered proportions of Victorian and Edwardian design to the sculptural lines of Art Deco, the archive reveals a longstanding fascination with jewellery that occupies space, rather than simply adorning it.

The Original Form brings together antique and vintage pieces chosen for their distinctive use of stone, structure and form. Each offers an earlier expression of an instinct that continues to inform the way we see jewellery today, where volume, dimension and architectural form give a piece its presence.
