Anna Jewsbury studied mathematics and philosophy at Oxford. No Central Saint Martins, no school of jewelry. In 2013, she founded Completedworks with her brother Mark, choosing jewelry and objects as a new way to explore her ideas.
Flex your eyes. Train them. Wander the cities, great and small. Practice The Art of Noticing. Throughout your life, they will urge you to run, to climb, to succeed. Slow down. The truth is, the extraordinary is everywhere. No need to run. Stop. The key is in the gaze. And the gaze is something you cultivate. It also finds its perfect setting, right at the ear. The Orchard earrings, for instance: a freshwater pearl, a flash of zircon, and a green cherry blossom agate, set on recycled silver.
At Oxford, Anna Jewsbury studied mathematics and philosophy. She was searching for a deeply personal way to describe her world. No formal logic needed, in the end. In 2013, she founded Completedworks with her brother Mark. Without formal training in jewelry, she chose this exact medium because it is small, intimate, infusing her world, skin against skin.
Ask any artist: everything begins with a detail. One of Anna’s collections is inspired by the ropes reportedly used to move the moai statues of Easter Island. Another plays with illusion, giving rigid metal and porcelain the fluid look of draped fabric or compressed foam.
This is where those signature Completedworks shapes come from: knotted jewels, irregular loops, and deliberately crumpled volumes.
In 2019, Anna shifted scale, launching her first ceramics in collaboration with artist Ekaterina Bazhenova-Yamasaki.
Today, Completedworks spans jewelry, ceramics, glassware, and furniture—crafted primarily from recycled materials—from a studio on London's Lisson Street, housed in a former pub.
