Eliot W. Everton Designs also celebrated the launch of its debut jewellery collection The Future of Flowers in November 2024, exhibiting across five galleries between Eliots home town, locally known as The Toon (Newcastle Upon Tyne) and where he currently calls home in South London. The Jewellery collection presents a more masculine gaze on femininity, nature and society, questioning traditional gender stereotypes and identities.

At E.W.E Designs we look to uphold trust and authenticity between the company and its community. We craft quality fine art jewellery made from quality materials, all with Full British Hallmarks. The work is often used to convey messages and tell stories, turning his ideologies and beliefs into physical symbols reflecting on his own life, thoughts and emotions as he navigates the world as a young male. His projects present his own take on the current culture. Using traditional craft techniques infused with untraditional values and concepts, the jewellery helps bring his audience closer to the ideas he expresses. The jewellery both in his bespoke side of the business and the brands collections, is about communicating with the customer the dialogue of the design between craftsman and client.
Eliot W. Everton was raised in Newcastle Upon Tyne. He was brought up on earnest ideologies he carries forward today. Raised by a single mother, a head of performing arts and film teacher, he was creative from a young age and was encouraged to study and follow his creative pursuits. “Those early years, being able to experiment across mediums and given all the time and freedom in the world to just create. Those childhood time affordances that you take for granted, but cherish now they are gone. That was really important for me being able to connect with art”. Eliot W. Everton went on to study at Chelsea College of Arts London. This is where he found his voice and passion for the blossoming craft industry within London, its emerging scenes and diverse culture.
Signature Style
The style is heavily textured, carved faces with rough edges contrasted with a high polished underbelly. I like the tactility of the material, coming from a craft based education I go to a lot of design and material exhibitions, where you just want to touch everything, so i wanted to create something that you can experience through touch. Giving both soft and smooth whilst rugged and rough. Something that is fully experienced in person
All pieces are Handmade in London, using the lost wax casting process, either in 925 Sterling Silver or 9k - 24k Gold with Full British Hallmark.
