Yunus Ascott and Eliza Higginbottom are both sculptors, working together to create art jewellery and reject the dominant throwaway culture. Since launching Yunus & Eliza in 2009 with no previous jewellery training, the duo have won sponsorship from the British Fashion Council and are fast developing a cult following. Handcrafting their jewellery in their London studio, the duo stock their products globally in stores such as Luisa Via Roma and Dover Street Market.
