Atelier Modernista is a Hampstead-based independent curator of contemporary art jewellery. Every piece is chosen for its combination of tradition and innovation - you can find our full collection online here.

Like Hampstead, our range is both classical and contemporary, and unusual.

We are very fond of our Modernist Cobalt Edition, much as we are of a coffee at Mani's, and Everyman's sofas on a Sunday night. We offer the colour-rich Bauhaus Earrings with the same delight we feel about Leonard Cohen once living on the High Street - above what is now Petit Bateau - and that George Orwell once sold paperbacks from South End Green Gail's.

We celebrate the innovation of 2 Willow Road, Spedan Close and the Hopkins’ House with our Architect Earrings.

We love Hampstead because we love when innovation combines with tradition to make something magnificent. Such as creating the Camden Art Centre from the old library; or Michael Rosen and Natasha Brown’s Book Labs at Burgh House; or an exquisite puppet theatre from a disused pottery. The best of Hampstead seems to happen when we mix tradition with innovation. And this mix is at the heart of what we are doing at Atelier Modernista.

Therefore we built Atelier Modernista on a few simple convictions: of buying less but buying better; that colour is everyone’s friend; and that jewellery made by artists, chosen with rigour, is worth more than almost anything produced at scale. Each piece has presence, and has earned its place. Our jewellery range is small and ever-rotating, meaning you can regularly find new ideas at play.
