Jesse Ball, a jewellery designer raised in a Tibetan Buddhist community in Scotland, creates handcrafted talismans using the lost wax method, drawing inspiration from ancient artefacts and treasures. Jesse's journey into jewellery making is rooted in deep personal and cultural connections. Working between Forres in Moray and her childhood home in Eskdalemuir, Jesse continues a family tradition, using tools passed down from her great-grandfather, a jeweller from Hatton Garden, London, to craft pieces with a timeless, organic aesthetic.
