Story

Making is at the heart of what I do. I love to be at the bench creating pieces by hand, using traditional goldsmithing techniques...

Ancient art of granulation

Hannah Bedford skilfully combines the ancient art of granulation with design innovation and responsibly-sourced precious materials to create a contemporary signature look. Influenced by organic growth and the ever-changing movement of water, Hannah cultivates new ways to embellish her pieces with delicate droplets of gold. Contrasting precious metals add tone and richness to Hannah’s aesthetic.

contemporary aesthetic

Sculptural waves may be joined in whorls of gold granulation, where ocean-toned sapphires are artfully nestled. Or fine granulation may interlace between surfaces, linking necklaces and bangles, embellishing delicate earrings and weaving across engagement and wedding rings. Minute granules may be embedded with exquisite diamond detailing or hidden surfaces covered with delicate granulation. A beautiful secret unbeknown to all but the wearer.

Responsible Craftsmanship

Hannah is passionate about her values and creating responsible jewellery with consideration to ‘people and planet’. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in her studio at Cockpit in London, where Hannah also works with clients, to create beautiful bespoke commissions. Hannah gives back through planting trees with Ecologi and contributions to the Marine Conservation Society.
