Amanda Doughty
Amanda Doughty is celebrating her thirtieth year as a jewelry designer and maker. Part of a thriving artist studio community in Brighton and Hove, on the south coast of England, she finds inspiration in architecture, photography, and details in the urban landscape. She is interested in repetition, shape, color, form, and texture, creating a unique collection of jewelry from these observations. Doughty works predominantly in silver, gold, and platinum, sometimes incorporating precious stones and semiprecious beads. She manipulates these materials in a subtle, understated way to create work that is bold, confident, and wearable.
