Jessica Awaritefe is a silversmith and jeweller with a background in materials engineering and metallurgy. Her work which is an outpouring of her life has its roots living in tune with the seasons and a delight of simple nature. She creates objects and jewellery, using her designs as a canvas to convey the beauty of the natural world which connects with poetry and prose, and a symbolic representation of the literary world.

Her work is imbued by japonisme, an art period where Japanese art influenced western artists. Jess focuses on the silversmithing technique of chasing and repousse and traditional Japanese metal decorative techniques to create timeless collectible pieces in precious metal.
