About

During the holidays, Sophia Mann immersed herself in her family's North London warehouse, nestled in a dark alley in Kentish Town. Amidst the scent of dusty boxes, she navigated aisles teeming with costume jewelry treasures. Sophia Mann crafted long necklaces by rummaging through troves of broken jewelry, surrounded by a spectrum of beads from swarovski set stones to czech glass beads. This experience naturally cultivated her profound understanding and affection for these materials, a sentiment that now pervades and shapes her artistic endeavors.

Sophia Mann grew up around jewelry — her family’s business started in Paris and later became one of the first fashion jewelry houses in the UK. After working in the industry for several years, she studied at Central Saint Martins, where she developed her own style using beads, silver, and sculptural forms.

Her work is all about creating meaningful, well-made pieces that feel personal and are built to last — a quiet alternative to fast fashion, rooted in tradition but made for now

Guided by family values and tradition, Sophia’s work is especially attuned to the emotional depth of wedding jewelry. “I grew up around jewelry, so my connection to the materials is unique,” she says. “Crafting pieces for weddings is deeply personal — it’s about honoring love, legacy, and the stories we carry forward.”

Her mission is to use traditional materials in innovative ways: lace with silver, Swarovski stones with glass beads, chain-mail with freshwater pearls. Each design is a conversation between old and new — a celebration of originality and care.

Sophia Mann’s creations reflect the sacred feminine: fluid, expressive, and full of feeling. “I want my jewelry to mirror the body’s movement, with soft, organic lines representing this. I aim to offer something beautiful, original, and well-crafted, allowing people to feel special and celebrate their bodies. Fashion’s greatest gift is its ability to reflect a little bit of who we are through what we wear.
