Interview with James Ganh

I have always wanted to become an artist when I was little and always was fascinated by my mother's jewellery, so with all the right influences and achievement in life I chose to become a jewellery designer.

I recently setup my designer brand in London, focusing on Luxury and high net-worth clients. Most designs start off as bespoke orders and later on develop further in the signature inovative collections

Design means, constant innovation and evolution. Consistency of quality and functionality that surprises and satisfies customers.

Earrings and rings

Royal Faberge Eggs. These were and still are the most complicated and innovative jewel craft art objects. They have always inspire me to challenge in techniques and be perfect in details. They have also taught me that sentimental value is the most important when designing a piece of jewellery, the inner message must be well delivered with its aesthetics.
