Footnotes

David Thomas is a much-celebrated master goldsmith and one of London's most respected craftsmen, who was integral to the modernist movement of jewellery born in 1960s London.

Thomas trained at the Royal College of Art, where he was a contemporary of David Hockney, and he worked for Georg Jensen and the Swedish Crown jewellers, before opening his Pimlico store in the 1960s.

Thomas' work is exhibited at many institutions, including The Victoria & Albert Museum and The Goldsmiths' Company. He is known for his exceptionally skillful use of gold, creating highly refined individual jewels, which seldom appear at auction.
