Chloe Drake

Chloe has also been the North Hertfordshire Branch Manager since 2022. She joined us at Harriet Kelsall Bespoke Jewellery in 2013 as a Jewellery Design Assistant and has worked with people from all over the UK, USA, New Zealand, Canada, France and Hong Kong. Now, she supports in running the Dress Jewellery Collection for example curating new pieces, so they complement our bespoke offering. And of course, offer even more inspiration for unique designs.

Chloe’s career path started when her love of art and design led her to achieve an MDes in Product Design from Sheffield Hallam University. Whilst there, she honed her 2D and 3D CAD skills to recognise and overcome design problems. Subsequently, she completed a project in association with Gillette and even became a finalist in their design competition.

In her final year, Chloe completed a Master’s Degree element of her course before deciding to turn her practical and aesthetic skills towards bespoke jewellery design. With experience and training in product design, she’s certainly adept at combining down to earth practicality with elements of beauty. Above all, she expertly considers intricate design details, inspirations and stories and translates them from idea to a sketch. Of course, then ensuring the design becomes a remarkable bespoke piece of jewellery.

Much inspires Chloe, not least her sense of adventure, modern art, travel and photography. She often draws on her worldly experiences, for example, channelling details as abstract and eclectic design elements in commissions. Similarly, she also loves experimenting with gemstones where incorporating interesting cuts and rare colours achieve an eye-catching, unique look.
