Clemmie James is both an environmentalist and an artist. Specialising in recycled, reused, and remade jewellery, she works with the precious and the discarded. By intricately weaving together gems, wood, buttons, textiles, pebbles, glass, scavenged objects and forgotten treasure she creates sculptural necklaces. They fuse the stories of old and are in essence her own tactile journal of her wandering feet and curious mind.

Clemmie is a self-taught jeweller and has been making jewellery since she was 16, when she sold earings on Brighton beach. Since then she has had a jewellery stall at Portobello and Camden and exhibited in various boutiques and galleries on Edinburgh and London. She believes strongly that beauty and value is interpretable, that a pebble can be as exquisite as a piece of tourmaline. It is often the story behind the object that holds the greatest worth. It is this idea that is exposed within Clemmie's jewellery line ‘Little Glass Clementine'. Meshing together a mélange of bits and pieces each piece is an intriguingly narrative, that has been delicately put together, to create a subtle but daring piece of Jewellery.

Clemmies works from her studio; a small narrow boat in Hackney, with swans as her neighbours.
