Note: Tomasz Donocik studied Jewellery Design at Central Saint Martins in London, thereafter honing his jewellery skills at the illustrious Royal College of Art. Having won multiple prestigious awards, including the 2017 Gold Award for Precious Jewellery at Goldsmith's Craft & Design Council in London, Donocik is recognised internationally for extraordinary design and fine craftsmanship.
Characterised by bold, masculine design and with a unique sense of creativity, Donocik's themes come from literature and architecture, also inspired by the Art Deco movement, 80s fashion, retro-futurism and Abstract expressionist artist Frank Stella.
'I create modern day heirlooms for men and women', says Tomasz Donocik who strives to introduce contemporary materials and to combine these new elements with traditional techniques. Donocik gives jewellery a new definition and challenges the notion of self-adornment, which has attracted great attention from around the world.
