About Angie Boothroyd MA(RCA)

Angie Boothroyd has been creating her own unique style of contemporary designer jewellery since she first set up her London workshop in 2001. Her aim was to create a new gold aesthetic, to offer precious jewellery that was relaxed enough to wear every day, yet luxurious enough to make you feel special. Since then, she has quietly won over jewellery fans of all ages and backgrounds with her understated yet opulent style.

Each piece of Angie Boothroyd jewellery is hand crafted to the highest standard, using a combination of age-old goldsmithing techniques and cutting-edge technology. Only golds of 18 carat and above are used, in a distinctive range of colours encompassing the spectrum of yellow, rose, and even green golds. These rich hues, shimmering with luscious surface textures, come together in her range of refreshingly light and modern, yet timeless, designs.

In 2010, Angie Boothroyd Limited was formed. The growing business continues to flourish from its vibrant Cockpit Arts location, where you can visit Angie in her workshop during Cockpit’s famous biannual Open Studio events. Angie can also be found at some of Europe’s most prestigious fairs such as Goldsmiths’ Fair in London, and Kara in Paris. She is also proud to be a Lonmin Design Innovation Award winner for 2009.

The success of Angie Boothroyd is not just down to exquisite designs but to excellent customer service. We will do everything we can to make your buying experience, whether on or offline, an enjoyable one.

Born and raised in California, Angie came to London in 1994 to pursue her career in graphic design, shortly after completing a BA in Studio Art. The allure of fire and metal soon took hold and what started as a part-time metals course led to a place on the Jewellery HND at London Guildhall University. Combining this technical foundation with her natural talent and design experience, she went on to win place on the Jewellery MA course at the Royal College of Art, where she studied under the tutelage of Professor David Watkins.

Upon completion of her MA in 2001, Angie set up her workshop at Cockpit Arts, Holborn, with the help of a Crafts Council Setting Up Grant and a Cockpit Arts Seedbed Award. Her earliest pieces were sold by Europe’s most important galleries such as Galerie Marzee in the Netherlands, and both Electrum and Lesley Craze in London. To keep pace with rising demand, Angie soon expanded from creating unique, one-off pieces to producing more widely available jewellery ranges, all the while refining the craft techniques and design methods she had spent years cultivating.

Angie’s jewellery has appeared in several books and publications, and she has been commissioned by A&C Black publishers to write two books, Necklaces and Pendants, and Setting Up A Jewellery Business, the second of which is due out in 2011.

Currently residing on a Dutch Barge on the Grand Union Canal, Angie has managed to balance her career with her passion for music, playing double bass and fiddle in various roots music bands, and often unwinding after a hard day’s work at a local bluegrass jam session. She commutes into London on a 1973 Enfield Bullet.
