After decades of designing for iconic global brands and prestigious royal commissions, British jewellery designer Bill Skinner is captivating the fashion world once again—this time under his own name. Since launching his eponymous brand in 2012, Skinner has redefined statement costume jewellery with a fresh, imaginative flair that blends heritage craftsmanship with whimsical storytelling.

Bill began his creative journey at the Sir John Cass College of Art, honing his craft in London’s renowned Hatton Garden district alongside some of the industry’s most respected names. His talent quickly drew the attention of high-end fashion houses, leading to a successful 30-year career as a sought-after freelance designer in both the fashion and costume jewellery sectors.

Driven by a desire to create pieces that speak directly to the wearer, Bill launched The Bill Skinner Studio, a UK-based, family-run atelier focused on hand-crafted designs that evoke emotion, nostalgia, and a deep connection to nature. Each collection tells its own story—from the charming Blackberry Mouse to the dazzling Bejewelled Moth—and invites wearers to express their individuality with every piece.

“At Bill Skinner, jewellery is more than just an accessory—it’s a narrative,” says Skinner. “We want to create pieces that are worn, loved, and passed down. Because the best stories are the ones we share.”

With rave reviews from its very first collection, the brand continues to charm customers who seek distinctive, meaningful jewellery with personality. As the studio looks to the future, one thing remains certain: every Bill Skinner piece is designed to spark joy—and to be treasured for years to come
