Manufacture
Each piece is crafted by hand using the time-honoured technique of lost wax casting.
A method which involves hand-carving or sculpting each piece initially in wax form, which is then cast and replicated in metal and moulded, serving as a blueprint for further pieces. The technique ensures the intricate details of the original design are faithfully preserved.
We partner with local businesses to bring our designs to life with all pieces being cast, Plated and finished in London, all within a few square miles. Working with a local supply base has the benefits of reducing our carbon footprint whilst also supporting the local community. we are actively committed to working towards more sustainable practices and choose only partners that are transparent about their methods and supply chain.
in an effort to minimize waste all pieces are handcrafted in recycled metals, in small batches, or to order. we use 18 carat gold plate, solid sterling silver and bronze. Pieces that require hallmarking are verified and stamped at the London assay office guaranteeing their purity.
Our founder
Founded in 2016 all Ruddock pieces are created by designer Sarah Ruddock.
Working previously as a clothing buyer, Sarah had long held intrigue in the jewellery world, creating pieces first for herself, and later for friends, up cycling pieces from leather and vintage stones. Her passion for making led her to explore the craft further beginning with a course in silversmithing closely followed by another in wax carving. Encouraged by friends Sarah launched her own website in 2016 and after several years of organic growth, she took the step in 2019 to pursue jewellery design full-time.
Ruddock pieces have been celebrated for their design-led aesthetic and delicate balance of substance with comfort. These attributes are a reflection of Sarah’s appreciation of modernist design and sculptural forms. Leaning into art and interior design as sources of reference and inspiration, Sarah delivers interest to her pieces through texture and construction with intriguing links or fastenings .
Since establishing her brand, Sarah has gained creative recognition within the luxury industry, being featured in prominent global publications such as Vogue, Twin, Grazia, Love want, Sunday Times Style and magazine, and receiving several jewellery awards.
