Mim Best

Mim Best is a Bristol-based contemporary jewellery designer whose work explores traditional handcrafting techniques, mark-making, pattern, and texture. Each piece is unique, carefully considered, and meticulously handworked to create a future heirloom of exquisite quality.

Her designs draw inspiration from the rich visual language of ancient jewellery, decorative details, surface textures, and the therapeutic nature of making by hand. Combining lost-wax casting with traditional fabrication techniques, she brings a thoughtful, yet playful approach to her practice. She often stamps the metal to create unique, shimmering patterns - blending modern and ancient aesthetics into timeless, elegant pieces.

Using recycled silver and gold, her work features carefully selected gemstones and tiny beads with unusual cuts and vibrant colours, chosen for their quality and provenance.  

Since launching her collection in 2019, her focus has evolved into the alternative bridal market, where she creates bespoke engagement rings and symbolic commissions designed to honour personal stories and last for generations.
