Meet Tomasz Donocik, the Polish-born, Austrian-raised, London-educated fine jewellery artist. Weaving his way through space and time, Donocik is inspired by an eclectic array of forces from artists such as Frank Stella to the rain-slicked futuristic galactic cityscapes of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner film or even post-Imperial Russian heroes. Donocik's work is ever changing and inhabits a creative space in a time-warp somewhere between outer space and a sophisticated Art Deco literary salon.

Entirely hand-made in his East London workshop, Tomasz Donocik brings his artistic point of view to jewels with an edge. But never expect the expected, as Tomasz, who considers himself an artist working with precious materials, is not one to stand still.

Donocik chose baguette-cut sapphires, emeralds, amethyst and iolite to create highways of colour, freed from any visible metalwork in his award-winning Electric Night collection.
Dramatic yet feather light, these Electric Night earrings with baguette-cut sapphires, topaz and amethyst are full of movement thanks to multiple articulations.
Inspired by the Beauty and The Beast movie, the rubellite engagement ring in rose gold from Tomasz Donocik is a beautiful alternative for those looking for a different look.

The Dusk Halo rings combines different stone cuts and levels combined with unexpected gems like grey hematite and howlite alongside morganite and diamonds. The larger of the two features a central morganite and there are matching earrings.

The Art Deco Stellar rings merge Donocik’s interest in retro-futuristic themes with and Art Deco air using diamonds, emeralds and black spinel, the gemstones mostly closely associated with this design era. The rings can be worn separately or together as shown to create the illusion of one cross-finger wing-shaped ring.

Donocik approaches jewellery with the eye of an artist, ever looking to create new effects. In the Stellar Dune jewels he plays with solid colours, transparencies and negative space. The collection echoes the work of the 1970’s artist Frank Stella, much admired by Tomasz Donocik.
