Jeweler Thelma West discusses her approach to dressing for work and gives tips on how to develop your own personal style when it comes to jewelry.
Born in Nigeria and based in London, West developed her love of jewelry by observing women in her family and admiring how they put together colorful, well-accessorized outfits. She moved to London as a teen in order to study engineering but soon pivoted. Knowing she wanted to work with diamonds and precious stones, West studied at HRD Antwerp, a highly respected gemology program.
Diamonds are special on their own, but West knows how to take something sparkling yet familiar and make it feel fresh and young. Forget what Audrey Hepburn said inabout not wearing diamonds before 40: West’s jewelry would appeal to fearless and stylish women of any age. The sugarcane motif she uses on gold bands, for example, adds texture and dimension to the building block of any ring.
That affinity for invigorating, emotional pieces extends to West’s wardrobe. Below, she discusses her approach to dressing for work and gives tips on how to develop your own personal style when it comes to jewelry.Early on in my career, I sacrificed heels for jewels and that was a conscious decision. In Lagos, Nigeria, everyone went everywhere by car. In England, you walk everywhere and take the tube. So where I am has influenced my style. I have sneakers for every occasion.
I used to love heels a lot. I’m drawn to nice things, so nicer heels—which cost money—and then jewels—which cost money. So then I was, like, “What do I love the most,” and it’s jewels.
