Drawing inspiration from antique jewelry, The Ouze creates one-of-a-kind pieces that honor the traces of handwork and the beauty of imperfection. Each piece is unique, and its appeal lies in a distinctive presence that incorporates a modern sensibility while respecting tradition. To coincide with this event, we have received a message from Toby, who will be visiting Japan for the first time.
PROFILE
The Ouze was established in 2021 by its founder Toby Vernon. Toby studied fashion design at Westminster University, where he developed a niche set of design references and aesthetics that have gone on to inform his work as a jeweller. Toby first began experimenting with jewellery design during lockdown in 2020. He quickly discovered that making jewellery allowed him to create with freedom and push boundaries from the outset. Toby has never received formal training in jewellery making and has been teaching himself through experimentation ever since.
