Winter Months and Seasons Greetings

Tag: disa

I would like to extend warm wishes to everyone and thank you for all of your support during the year. It has been a busy year despite its ups and downs due to the pandemic. We have been able, with your support, to adapt to conditions and continued to export jewellery abroad and sell to private clients, shops and galleries.

The Goldsmiths Fair 2021 was a lovely exhibition to take part in and seeing all of my colleagues and friends again was a big bonus. I was able to share new ideas and discuss upcoming projects, it was a very exciting week!

The website continues to be updated with new work so do have a look and I will be sharing new projects and collections as we approach the holiday season. You can follow me on www.instagram.com/disaallsopp

Disa Allsopp has always travelled a lot, growing up in Barbados with adventurous parents. She visits Kenya on a regular basis as inspiration and sourcing expeditions. This winter she visited one of her suppliers with direct links to the mine where this cabouchon ruby was discovered and cut.

This deep pink ruby is set simply in an 18k yellow gold rub-over setting with an open back to allow as much light play as possible. Poised on one of Disa’s signature organic texture bands this ring is all about show casing this unique stone in all its glory.

Enjoy the warmth and depth of colour as we head in to this fresh March weekend! To find out more about it email disa.allsopp@gmail.com or get in touch through the contact page.

 

When Disa saw this Rhodolite Garnet on a stone sourcing trip to Kenya she fell in love with its warm flashes of raspberry, fuschia and scarlet. Beautifully cut to reflect and refract light, Disa has framed it in a tapered 18k yellow gold rubover setting. Sitting on one of her signature organic texture 18k gold bands this ring would make a fabulous engagement ring, or a meaningful gift for an anniversary or birthday.

Disa has been working with the online shopping experience 1st Dibs for a year now. 1st Dibs showcases high end design and provides a platform for independent designers and boutiques around the world. Have a look at the site if in need of anything from furniture to fashion.

We have put the new 18k gold rhodolite garnet ring on Disa’s 1st Dibs store and invite you to view the stunning images and imagine yourself wearing this one off piece. It really is a unique stone and we can’t wait to send it to it’s new home!

I will be showing new collections at The Melee Show 2nd- 4th February at The Highline Hotel New York.

18k gold rings, earrings, necklaces using gemstones such as Tourmalines, Garnets, coloured diamonds and many more.

These pieces are all handmade in my London studio!

Looking forward to the show….

Here at Disa Allsopp’s workshop we would like to wish everyone a warm and bejewelled festive season!

The workshop will be closed from Wednesday 19th December to Wednesday 2nd January. We will respond to all enquiries once we are back.

Happy Holidays!

About Disa

Disa was born in London and grew up in Barbados. This special island really influenced her jewellery designs, visible in her use of colourful gemstones. Disa personally selects each stone such as golden citrines, warm garnets, rubies, sapphires and morganites.

White and coloured diamonds are set on unique bands while rough and rare cut gemstones make Disa’s work contemporary and current maintaining a timeless charm.

Disa exhibits internationally with stockists throughout the UK, United States, Japan and France. She exhibits at selected retail and trade shows as well as welcoming private clients by appointment to her London Studio.

Sustainability

Sustainability and the ethical journey of materials are an important and integral part of Disa’s practice.

Every year Disa travels to Kenya to source the majority of her gemstones. During these trips Disa visits a local gemstone supplier that she has worked with over the years.

Many of the gemstones sourced are originally from Kenya and East Africa. These beautiful Kenyan gemstones include tourmalines, sapphires, garnets, peridots and aquamarines.

All diamonds are gathered through ethical sources and diamond certificates can be provided on request.

A large percentage of the metal Disa uses to create her jewellery is recycled gold and silver. Disa has built up a reputation as a skilled jeweller when working with the sometimes unpredictable metals. The majority of the metal used is sourced from the heart of the jewellery district in Central London. Disa also frequently reworks clients’ sentimental gold and silver. Hallmarking is an integral part of the work to certify the precious metals used. All of the jewellery is handmade in Disa’s London studio.

Shipping

We are happy to ship to the UK and internationally.

We use Malca-Amit Express Service for shipments abroad, please provide a physical address for delivery as they do not deliver to PO Boxes.  We charge a flat fee of GBP £95 (approximately US $122) per shipment for all international shipping.

Clients receiving their order outside of the UK are responsible for all taxes and duties incurred through the customs department of the country to which we are shipping. It is possible for some orders to experience delays in customs. We have no control over this and ask that the client contact their local customs agency if necessary.
