Polly Doherty is a young and innovative new designer currently embarking on an exciting career as a studio jeweller. Having recently graduated from the prestigious Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, her work is beginning to develop a unique identity and style.

Taking her visual influences from modern interior design, Polly creates a unique comparison between natural materials and geometric clean shapes. Letting the materials guide and determine the final shape achieved, Polly creates the natural patterns and forms that could only be found within nature. She then contrasts these with clean forms to demonstrate the combinations observed in interior design.

With awards from Goldsmiths including a travel scholarship, Polly is looking to continue experimenting and exploring her love of slate, finding new ways of incorporating its natural beauty into wearable pieces of jewellery.
