Donald Edge is one of Britain's most respected private jewellers, with a career spanning four decades. Australian-born, his passion for antique jewellery and design was ignited during his early travels across Europe. After settling in London in 1985, he honed his craft on Bond Street and established his first business on the King's Road, quickly earning a global reputation. He has spent decades designing and sourcing jewellery for private clients, global brands, cultural figures like Sade, and public personalities, giving him a front-row view of how identity, memory and culture are carried in what we wear. His fascination goes well beyond materials and technique - he is as captivated by the stories, symbols and histories behind jewellery as the objects themselves. It's this blend of hands-on expertise, curiosity and cultural perspective that drives his exploration of the hoop earring, tracing its journey from ancient empires to street culture, from sacred emblem to fashion icon.
