Ed Wilson grew up in St Ives and has been influenced by its rich history of art and sculpture. The influence of the movement, colours and the raw nature of the ocean and its surroundings can be seen throughout his work, and his incorporation of precious gemstones and subtle textures highlight the organic shapes and structural curves of his elegant pieces.
Writer Hannah May writes (here):
'Ed began an apprenticeship in 2002 with silversmith Timothy Lukes and has since designed and handcrafted an exclusive and ever-expanding range of idiosyncratic jewellery. The scope for design is extensive. "I can create rings in any metal and style to suit individual tastes and preferences. The beauty is that the ring becomes an even more personal and important part of the ceremony and the vows being made."
An aesthetic that draws from his surrounds, the oceanic environment in particular spills from his work. Motion plays a unique role in Ed's pieces, which subtly convey tidal movement, seasonal changeability and a fluidity that defines both the look and feel of each unique offering.'
