Guy Royle is renowned for his big bold contemporary jewellery, using beaten and etched silver and 18ct yellow gold set with semi precious stones. His work is exquisitely crafted, and carries echoes of adornments made by primitive man. Guy was born in 1954 in Devon and had no formal training but became the assistant of Breon O'Casey in 1987 continuing a similar vein of work. Guy now lives and works in Cornwall as a Jeweller but he also works in the fields of painting and weaving.
