Tom Scott, prominent artist-jeweller in 1960s London, is renowned for his intricate 18ct gold creations adorned with precious stones and textured designs.
Scott initially attended Hornsey College of Art with the aspiration of becoming an illustrator. Yet, he quickly gravitated towards three-dimensional design in precious metals. After graduating in silversmithing and jewellery, Scott opened his own workshop in London. Scott was part of the renowned artist jewellers of the 1960s, alongside John Donald, Andrew Grima, Alan Gard, and Gillian Packard.
