Rock and Roll Jewellery

Beazie began her career as a jewellery designer in London's Hatton Garden, which has been the focus of Britain’s gem trade since the Middle Ages. From there her interest in precious stones led her to Bangkok, the global centre of the gem trade.

During this time Beazie inhabited the world of exclusive gem traders who are the first to see the most exquisite gems after they’ve left the countries where they were taken out of the earth.

Unusual gems, particularly bright and rare coloured tourmalines, inspire Beazie's art jewellery.

She offers her unparalleled access to the finest selection of the world's precious stones and not the flawlessness of perfect 'clean' stones, but a quality she calls ‘character’. What are known as flaws or inclusions - a window, a mark or fleck of copper – can, in the right manifestation, give a stone a distinctive beauty and intensity of colour. The gems that Beazie acquires are not only rare, but unique and each one, she explains, has made its own epic journey before it lies cut and polished on the dealer's tray.
