Understated Luxury
Celebrating over 25 years of designing and making contemporary jewellery for men and women.
Amanda is a jeweller with a love of architecture, photography and details in the urban landscape. She is interested in repetition, shapes, colours, forms and texture, creating a unique collection of jewellery from these observations. Work is created at the bench, also being inspired by the materials she uses in different geometric forms.
Amanda works mainly in platinum, palladium, gold and silver, precious stones and semi precious beads. She is interested in using these materials in a subtle, understated way to create work that is bold, confident and wearable.
Work is available from the collection or to commission – call 07958 415 441 or email amanda@amandadoughty.com for more details.
Here is my Insta top nine from 2020. I love that these nine images are very people based, that makes me very happy. 2020 has been a very different one for everyone and extremely difficult for so so many.
I want to thank you all for your support, kindness, generosity of spirit & community. It really has made an enormous difference to me personally. Hopefully 2021 will see brighter skies ahead very soon.

Thank you and stay safe, Amanda
One of Amanda's favourite things to make is a bangle, the size, the scale and the physical energy needed to make these larger jewellery items is something that she has always enjoyed.
Amanda has been making bangles in silver, gold and bi-metal for over 25 years. They are a signature part of the collection and in 2009 A&C Black asked her to write 'Bangles & Bracelets'.
Each bangle is unique, handmade by Amanda at the bench in her studio. Each design can be specially commissioned to your requirements and budget.
