Grace Miell, the creative behind Disgraceful Jewellery, is a jeweller born in East London whose creations encapsulate the vibrant essence of urban life.

From an early age, Grace embraced their identity as a self-proclaimed magpie, collecting discarded objects that society often overlooked, such as laughing gas canisters. Their pleasing forms and reflective surfaces resonate with Grace's attraction to jewellery and echo the rebellious spirit of punk, shaping a unique design identity.

A graduate of Central Saint Martins with a BA in Jewellery Design, Grace blends traditional craftsmanship with unconventional materials. Central to their work is the exploration of jewellery and identity, fostering a deeper understanding of the world around them.

As an autistic individual, Grace uses objects as a form of communication, encouraging a re-evaluation of what is deemed worthy or beautiful. Their jewellery challenges societal norms, transforming discarded materials into meaningful art, and inviting viewers to engage with their own perceptions of value and identity. Through each piece, Grace creates a dialogue that celebrates individuality and the beauty of the overlooked.

Disgraceful Jewellery is a studio that redefines the concept of value through innovative design. Rooted in East London, their jewellery celebrates the transformative potential of overlooked materials, particularly repurposed items like laughing gas canisters. Each piece is meticulously crafted to maintain traces of its past, inviting deeper inspection that reveals the beauty in sustainable choices.

Their design philosophy intertwines satire and punk influences, addressing issues such as politics, inequality, and avoidable mortality. By challenging conventional perceptions of preciousness, Grace encourages viewers to reconsider what materials are deemed worthy. Their creations are not merely adornments; they are catalysts for change, prompting introspection and dialogue.

Believing that art has the power to ignite transformation, Grace invites exploration and questions established norms, bridging the gap between art and adornment. Their mission is to reshape the jewellery landscape, celebrating the unexpected and harnessing creativity to inspire a reimagining of the overlooked. They believe every piece tells a story of resilience and reinvention.
