Deborah Tseng is a Taiwanese, London-based designer and artist who works with precious metals, gemstones, and ceramics. She combines an extensive education in craft and metalwork with traditions and concepts from a range of visual arts.

A graduate of the Master’s program in Jewellery Silversmithing and Related Products from the Birmingham School of Jewellery, she was selected for the Getting Started program as one of the UK’s top 30 new jewellery brand talents by the British Goldsmiths’ Centre.

Her work has been selected for Talente in Munich, One Year In - New Designers in London, and the Seiraad International Jewellery Art Fair in Amsterdam. She has been featured in Art Magazine and Art Collection + Design Magazine in Taiwan.

Deborah creates every piece by hand in her East London studio, obsessing over detail and balancing artistic vision with the creation of practical, joyful, and wearable jewellery. Sustainability is a central practice in her work, and she has transitioned to using recycled and locally sourced materials.

Her work combines elegant or organic-shaped precious metals with transparent and matte crystals, playing with shadow and perception. The careful interplay of light and dark, night and day, echoes the philosophy behind Deborah Tseng’s design.

Deborah Tseng is a London-based artist whose work blends her extensive experience in jewellery making with her fine art training. Her creations are inspired by repetition, transformation, time, and the minutiae of her surroundings. For her, jewellery is a wearable art piece that captures personal significance.

She creates jewellery that exists between craft and art, combining precious metals, gemstones, and porcelain, and using traditional craftsmanship in metalsmithing and ceramics. She works with colour in monotone to create an atmosphere that is simple to approach yet subtle, allowing for interpretation and imagination. Every piece she creates is unique, and within each work, one can feel the temperature of the maker’s hands.

Laden with symbolism surrounding nature, decay, and the passage of time, Deborah Tseng’s pieces leave space for contemplation and meditation. They bring joy and beauty to the wearer, fostering a deeper connection through quiet reflection.

Deborah Tseng’s manifesto is an obsession with detail. Every element of the work is subject to the artist’s discerning eye, and every part of the process is carried out with permanence and sustainability at its core.

In a colourful world, this quiet, poetic jewellery offers a pure land for peace of mind.
