Frog prince, lady birds, eagle ray
Simon Harrison has worked with Vivienne Westwood and a host of other fashion designers. His frog prince and eagle ray brooches show creatures of the world, as do his ladybird earrings.
Peter Page
Peter Page collaborated with Ossie Clark in the 70s to create some spectacular gold face masks. He also makes other studio pieces such as a very small and very precise gold and enamel model of one of his client's houses, which comes apart to form 6 different pieces. These are then easily adapted for different occasions.
Mick Milligan & David Courts

Alastair Best wrote about these 2 controversial jewellers in the Design Journal and thought David Court was more of an extremist than Mick Milligan, who lived in Paris in the early 1960s and trained at the Royal College. Milligan was involved in controversy over the cover of the Blind Faith music album which featured a very young girl holding a silver space ship which he had made whilst at the College. Milligan also accessorised Zandra Rhodes with some bold baroque jewels.
