About Me

Lea Jiao is a contemporary jewellery artist whose practice combines silversmithing, gemstone cutting, and the ancient technique of gold and silver inlay.

Lea’s work moves between jewellery, objects, and miniature sculpture, exploring the relationship between nature, humanity, and gemstones.

She sees gemstones not only as precious materials, but also as intimate links between humans and the natural world.

By bringing together traditional metalwork, gemstone cutting, and contemporary storytelling, Lea creates jewellery that is not only worn, but encountered as a small world of its own.

Her work reflects a search for giving, strength, and emotional connection through material, gemstone, and form.
