Ruup & Form presents Jed Green
London Craft Week 2025

Private Preview: 14 May (by invitation only)
For London Craft Week 2025, Ruup & Form is proud to present the latest body of work by acclaimed contemporary jeweller and silversmith Jed Green—a bold and poetic exploration of material, memory, and transformation.
Jed Green’s practice defies categorisation, existing at the dynamic intersection of jewellery, sculpture, and object. Her distinctive handmade pieces, crafted from an eclectic palette that includes borosilicate glass, silver, gold, wood, stainless steel, paper, paint, and pearls, blur the boundaries between wearable adornment and sculptural form.
At the heart of her work is the use of clear, hollow borosilicate glass tubes—meticulously lampworked, carved, and cut into intricate organic or architectural shapes. These elements are then assembled into kinetic clusters or miniature environments through a process of pinning, drilling, and delicate construction. Layers of colour, created by painting inner glass walls and applying handmade transfers to outer surfaces, lend the pieces an ethereal, multidimensional quality.
This new body of work marks a significant evolution in Jed’s practice. Precious metals are more prominently featured silver is embedded into carved glass, while accents of gold introduce a warmth and richness that both complement and contrast with the translucency of the glass. The resulting works are intimate landscapes—three-dimensional collages that speak of memory, place, and the beauty of impermanence.
Many of the pieces on display have their roots in 2020, a year of stillness and reflection. During this time, Jed revisited past sketchbooks and rediscovered forgotten works, igniting a process of creative reconnection. This return to earlier forms and ideas catalysed a new artistic direction, culminating in Wear / Display—a series of interactive, multifunctional pieces that invite reinterpretation. Whether worn, displayed as sculpture, or used as vessels, these works challenge traditional definitions of adornment and offer a rich, tactile experience.
Originally trained as a sculptor, Jed’s shift into jewellery marked a change in scale rather than intent. Her recent large-scale works, Portrait and Landscape, represent a return to her sculptural origins—epic in form and narrative, they tell stories of travel, discovery, and the emotional treasures gathered along the way.
For Jed Green, glass is both medium and muse—an industrial material reimagined into something rare, expressive, and deeply personal. Her work is a testament to the power of craft to transform the everyday into the extraordinary.
