Alice Hobbs

Alice is a Junior Designer in our North Herts Studio and Shop. She has a degree in costume design and is most inspired by intricate, lace-like details.

Upon joining Harriet Kelsall Bespoke Jewellery as a Jewellery Design Assistant in 2022, Alice quickly demonstrated passion for bespoke jewellery design. In particular, nurturing and demonstrating a love for hands-on sketching and making.

Over the years, her flair for composition and understanding bespoke projects excels. Further illustrating this by winning a Clarity and Success Award in 2023, for one of her Jet 1 certification projects.

Initially, Alice’s degree in Costume Design and Making at Nottingham Trent University ignited her creative journey. Whilst looking into the history of period costumes, passion for delicate and dainty detailing grew. For example, she took inspiration from features seen in floral laces and embroidery. This then introduced her to 1920’s Art Deco style pieces. She’s particularly fascinated by the iconic symmetry and unusual gemstone shapes.

On a whole, Alice transfers each intriguing influence into her bespoke designs including engagement, wedding and eternity ring commissions. Similarly, she also incorporates them into a selection of our dress jewellery collection.

Most importantly, Alice loves spending time with customers, learning their emotional connections to an idea. Furthermore, she’s proudly a part of individual stories coming to life- from sketch, to goldsmith to a final piece. To Alice, seeing happy faces when something perfect is created together is priceless.
