Chinese born, London based artist, Ejing Zhang, combines thread, wood and resin, creating beautifully unique jewellery pieces. She uses hand poured resin tiles with abstract detailing across cocktail rings, pendants and statement earrings.

Ejing Zhang Pool Enamel Necklace, £100, available at Ejing Zhang
Ming Yu Wang was founded in 2013 by Jennifer Wang, who takes a modern approach to designing statement jewellery. With a focus on 'wearable art', her influences are an amalgamation of contemporary architecture and minimalist artists using ethically sourced materials.

Otiumberg is the brainchild of sisters Christie and Rosanna Wollenberg. After a lengthy, but unsuccessful search for elegant everyday jewellery, they created Otiumberg. Each piece is carefully chosen and timeless in style, with each collection tied to your lifestyle, rather than passing trends.
Another big plus is their commitment to social responsibility; all their stones are conflict free and they buy their pure gold and silver bullion from Morris and Watson, whose precious metals are produced by recycled waste from jewellers within local mines in Australasia. We love the dainty vibe of their stacked gemstones.
Otiumberg Ceylon Sapphire Huggie Hoop, £150, available at Otiumberg
Soru Jewellery is another sibling collaboration, having launched in 2013 by British-Sicilian sisters, Francesca and Marianna. Inspired by the decadent approach to accessorising by Sicilian women, they've created a collection that's as bold as it is ornate. Natural semi-precious stones and crystals can be seen throughout their pieces, made for the maximalists among us.
Soru Jewellery Earring Selection, from £70, available at Soru Jewellery

Alex Monroe's jewellery is synonymous with a very British sense of style. The ultra-detailed and textured pieces are individually designed and handmade by Alex and his team in England. Growing up in the Suffolk countryside, nostalgia for his idyllic childhood shapes his craftsmanship and continues to provide inspiration - from his signature bumblebee (which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year) and the Entomology collection to the Wildlife and Botanical offerings.
Perfect for intricate, delicate jewellery lovers, we'll be wearing this baby bee necklace over crisp white shirts and floral dresses.

Zoe Morton's jewellery is inspired by her adventures in the East Sussex and Devonshire countryside. It really needs to be held to be understood – the textural quality of the metal brings the pieces to life. Having studied at the Alchimia Contemporary Jewellery School in Florence, Morton's tactile designs centre on travel, experiences and adventures.
In our shopping bag? The woven and twisted earrings, plus the road trip pendant.
Zoe Morton The Plantlife Earrings, £205, available at Zoe Morton

London-based Rosh Mahtani was taken by Dante's Divine Comedy while studying at Oxford University. Working in e-commerce and styling by day, by night she began creating her collection, inspired by the 100 poems in the literary masterpiece. Like Dante's work, each of Mahtani's pieces is "battered, imperfect, and a little bit melancholy".
From the imprinted, misshapen False Promises ring, to the Persisting Memories charm necklace laden with absurd faces, her jewellery is a surreal, off-kilter addition to your nightstand.
Alighieri Jewellery The Surreal Betrayal Earrings, £350, available at Alighieri
