Jewelry Stories
featuring Ruth Tomlinson
October 5th - November 4th, 2024


SHIBUMI GALLERY presents Jewelry Stories, new work by RUTH TOMLINSON. 
Visit us this weekend for the first look!


Whether you create a stack to reflect your love, signify a milestone, or unite your most treasured rings like chapters of a story - your stack is unique to you.
— Ruth Tomlinson

Have you ever thought of how jewelry represents different chapters of your life? Perhaps a piece reminds you of a special family member or an event. Or maybe you associate a piece with a significant change or symbolic moment. When you combine and stack these pieces, a unique story begins to emerge.

Ruth’s inspiration is drawn from both the mysteries of historical jewels and the ephemerality of nature's life cycles. Her signature designs are marked by tiny granular intricacies and serendipitous imperfections and imbued with an ethereal character.

For our clients who have admired or perhaps even collected Ruth's work already, we invite you to personalize your collection further by exploring her newest pieces. (by adding a textured band or layering in a pendant, earring or bracelet to your collection.) The possibilities are endless to creating your own individual story.



RUTH TOMLINSON is an independent British contemporary fine jewellery brand creating ethereal jewels imbued with an otherworldly sense of a bygone era. Ruth Tomlinson celebrates an alternative to the traditional, producing jewellery that is beautifully designed, skillfully crafted, with a sense of enchantment and a touch of the unexpected. Each pieces is as unique as the individual who wears it, inspiring a life-lasting connection between the wearer and their jewels.
