Corrie Williamson is advocating for circular design with her striking collections of modern jewelry and hanging mobiles—the latter of which is described by her as "jewelry from the home." To pioneer sustainable production practices in her industry category, the London-based designer utilizes the wooden and metal off-cuts of other brands. In the past, she has collaborated and sourced materials from labels such as Jigsaw, Amnesty, Selfridges, and even galleries like the Tate Modern
Corrie Williamson's jewelry is abstract-inspired. The designer combines geometric shapes and relies on color contrast to create statements within her jewelry silhouettes. In addition to her core jewelry and hanging mobile ranges, Corrie Williamson also offers workshops. Retailing for 150 pounds, the designer currently has two tutorials on mobile-making, slotted for January and March in the New Year.
