Dinosaur Designs

I first became aware of Dinosaur Designs in my teens. It must have been a Dolly or Vogue jewellery shoot – I remember a weighty number of bangles loaded along a sleek model’s arms; acid bright against jet-black skin. I longed to own them then, same as I do now with each new season.

I am blown away by the success of this brand. Making unique pieces by hand is the underlying ethos of the business, yet they have grown considerably over the years without compromising on either quality or integrity.

I own quite a few Dino pieces; both homewares and jewellery. Many were gifts. My dear friend Lisa gave us a vase and set of three small bowls when Olive was born, and recently gave me this silver feather and resin necklace which I adore. They are items to treasure.

And here is our white resin platter, bearing the dints made by fingertips.

One day they will be collector’s items, like Murano glass… I am sure of it.

Start hoarding.
