R

Frenchman Laurent Rivaud designs R Jewellery. He has a long history in jewellery design and has been designing the jewellery collections of Vivienne Westwood since 1994. He is also a graduate of the Berçot Studio, has designed catwalk jewellery for Yves Saint-Laurent and Chloé, and has worked with Thierry Mugler for three years.

In 2003, Laurent Rivaud founded R Jewellery in London. The man prefers anonymity as the name of his company implies. But this in no way implies that his work is inferior to jewellery on the market by designers who have been crafting jewellery for longer than he. R Jewellery is superbly made and the fruit of a long and detailed crafting process.

What to know when buying R

First a drawing of the design is made. Then an original wax model is created before the actual piece of jewellery is crafted. The entire crafting of R Jewellery involves forgotten techniques to reproduce details in brand new pieces of jewellery to make them look much older than they are.

Design inspiration for R Jewellery comes from antique jewellery as well as religious imagery. The pieces blend tradition with a modern style to create jewellery that’s classic but won’t look out of place in this modern day.

R Jewellery has recently branched out into offering jewellery for men like cufflinks and pendants.
