Mikala Djorup’s jewellery reflects both her Danish background and her fascination with the classic tradition of jewellery design. She creates modern wearable jewellery, often combining the matt gold or platinum with unusual diamonds and pearls. She thrives for character, both in the stones and pearls she selects, and for the overall design. Most of her work is one of a kind, and handmade in the shop.

Mikala regularly show her pieces at prestigious exhibitions and jewellery shows, both home and abroad.

After 11 years at neighbouring Gabriel’s Wharf, Mikala has now moved to the iconic Oxo Tower Wharf, and the new premises has a distinct Nordic feel with its open plan workshop and clean lines.

acobs the Jewellers Launches Second Year of Young Designer Competition
The Goldsmiths’ Company is delighted to collaborate with Jacobs the Jewellers, Bishopsland Educational Trust and HS Walsh on the Young Designer Competition held at Jacobs the Jewellers in Reading.

Four young Bishopsland designers will showcase one piece of silver and one piece of jewellery, competing for best design in each category. Throughout the exhibition period (6-27 June), the public will be able to view and try the designs, voting for their favourite piece in each category. Additionally, a number of Bishopsland alumni, now designers in their own right, will be exhibiting their work.
Last year Loucinda Nims’ silver whiskey tumblers won best silver design and Dominic Simon’s 18ct gold slotted ring won best jewellery design. The winners received £500 worth of vouchers to spend on tools and materials.
