Noemi Klein Biography

Noemi Klein, originally from the West German countryside, began working as a jeweller in the murky corners of creative East London in 2004. She first started designing and working with metal after being given a cast off piece of machinery by her dentist father, combining her inherited attention to detail and fascination with fancy tools with finding an outlet for her love of fashion, precious materials and unusual imagery. Additional design and silversmithing training at London’s Central Saint Martins and Morley Colleges and an interest in traditional craft and tactile media such as porcelain, silk and natural stones make her approach to jewellery a distinctly modern take on decorative art.

Drawing inspiration from the ephemeral imagery of life and death, favourite reference points have included medieval emblems and the world of the enchanted forest. Pieces from the current collection are exquisitely detailed and multilayered, featuring diverse figural and floral imagery and reworking elements from vintage Jewellery and combining them with an array of precious materials such as silver, gold, coral and semiprecious stones. Always evolving, Noemi Klein Jewellery is entirely handmade by the designer in her East London studio, creating unique but wearable pieces that are often one-offs.
