ABOUT

Jasmine Ataullah is a British jeweller of Pakistani and English descent. Her work is a merge of inspirations: south asian heritage, ritualistic adornment and architecture are all deeply reflected in the pieces she creates.

‘I’m a jeweller/designer-maker, and I run Jasmine Ataullah Jewellery from my workshop in Brighton. My jewellery has evolved through years of determination and focus in learning traditional goldsmithing techniques. From start to finish, each piece is carved in wax or hand fabricated, polished, engraved and set by myself.

My work seeks to encapsulate emotion and longevity through opulent gemstones and warm yellow gold, enriched with deep pattern work and centred by symmetry. Working with gold allows me to create permanent, wearable vessels that defy the passage of time.'

The intricate nature of South Asian adornment, alongside the traditional techniques of goldsmithing have been hugely influential to the way she works, with heritage at the pillar of the pieces she creates. Her collection of gold bands are an ode to mendhi (henna), with layered bands of brightly cut gold imitating its meticulous pattern work.
