Cara Tonkin

Contemporary jewellery inspired by Art Deco, handcrafted in Brighton UK.

Cara Tonkin designs beautiful, elegant and bold jewellery for stylish and strong-minded women. Her work marries classic and contemporary design to create unique, timeless pieces. It is jewellery that comes to life when worn, intricate and tactile yet expressing glamour and elegance.

The daughter of two artists, Cara grew up surrounded by creativity both at home and in the inspiring city of Brighton. After training at world-famous art school Central St Martins and achieving a First Class Honours degree in jewellery design, she returned to Brighton to establish her studio where every piece in her collections is made.

The collections are inspired by the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements and the philosophy of Art Nouveau: that art should be a way of life. Cara was nominated for the New Designer of the Year in 2015 and Jewellery Designer of the year in 2016 at the UK Jewellery Awards.
