Andreia Gomes, jewellery maker

In 2024 Andreia Gomes from London was funded to train at the VS Jewellery School in Hatton Garden. She plans to work primarily with gold, but also platinum and palladium, focusing on stone setting and mounting, and casting using the lost wax method. Andreia’s enhanced skills will allow her to secure better opportunities within the jewellery trade, before eventually setting up her own studio.

This bursary was offered with the support The Royal Mint.
