Hannah Martin interview | The Jewellery Editor

Hannah Martin brings an edgy, rebellious swagger to fine jewellery with studs, shackles, spurs, rope and screws. To give you an idea of her uncompromising approach, one of her early collaborations - called Albion Trinketry - was with hell-raiser Peter Doherty of the band Babyshambles. East London cool is elevated to luxurious new levels with an exquisite attention to detail and craftsmanship where generous, weighty curves of gold meet pearls and diamonds in gender-fluid jewels.

Finely balanced between provocation and opulence, Hannah Martin has made a name for herself with a new style of renegade glamour. Hannah Martin founded her jewellery brand in 2006 after studying at Central Saint Martins and working at the bench with Cartier in Place Vendôme where she learnt the discipline of craftsmanship from the most accomplished masters of their trade. The Jewellery talks to Hannah Martin on Instagram Live in the Tea with Maria series of designer interviews.

Help us make the future bright

Since founding The Jewellery Editor in 2010, we have grown our digital magazine to be the number one global source of information and inspiration for fine jewellery and luxury watches.

3,500 articles, 150 videos with over 5 million views and a reach of over 2 million per month on social media later, we have offered unparalleled and highly respected coverage of our sector. However, despite our editorial success, we are financially struggling as an independent publisher.

Entirely funded, owned and run by Christine and Maria in London, we are now looking to sell The Jewellery Editor so that it can continue to grow. As e-commerce becomes a priority in our industry, we believe there is huge potential for engaging editorial content and are seeking a buyer who shares our values and passion so that under their guidance we can give a bright future to the platform and help us grow our business to the next stage.
