About the Artist
English artist Sarah Madsen studied at Central Saint Martins School of Art & Design in London, where she earned a BA (Hons) in Jewellery Design. Her interest in three-dimensional design marked a new direction from her first love of Fine Art. Yet, her passion for figurative expression has remained a constant thread throughout her artistic journey.
In 1992, Sarah received a Travel Bursary from the Royal Society of British Sculptors for her medal design and has exhibited at venues including the Mall Galleries in London, the Silvermine Art Center in Connecticut, and the Steven Whyte Figurative Sculpture Studio in Carmel, California.
After twelve years living in the United States, she returned to the U.K. in 2013 and founded Sarah Madsen Jewellery, where she continues to merge fine art sensibility with traditional craftsmanship.
It all began with drawing — a lifelong love of sketching and creating that eventually led me to start my jewellery business at the kitchen table. With a family of four children, mealtimes quickly became quite the juggling act! What began in the heart of our home has now grown into a full jewellery workshop and garden studio here in Cambridgeshire.
I work with precious materials using traditional metalworking techniques such as hammering, filing, stone setting, wax carving, and soldering. Every piece is made entirely by hand, allowing me to shape each design with care and intention. My style leans toward the organic, floral, and figurative — I’m always striving to create pieces that feel timeless and alive, like my tiaras that seem to hold a life of their own.
My aim is to bring together quality and artistry, producing jewellery that carries both heirloom value and creative expression. I’m deeply proud to play a part in keeping traditional craftsmanship alive here in the U.K., helping to ensure these precious skills continue to thrive for generations to come.
If you’d like to chat about commissioning or purchasing a piece of my work, I’d love to hear from you.
