London-based designer and illustrator Alec Doherty released his first collection of jewelry under his namesake label in 2018. The brand’s playful and contemporary designs capture feelings of nostalgia and youthful optimism, showcased in pieces like smiling sun pendants and “surprised face” signets adorned with gemstones like sapphires, zircons, and tourmalines. Pieces are hand-carved in reclaimed gold and sterling silver before being cast and finished at London’s prestigious Hatton Garden, with careful craftsmanship and fine materials ensuring their status as future heirlooms. Bringing a simple illustrative style to emotional emblems, Alec Doherty adds a mischievous allure to the daily ensemble.
