Featured Maker: Stephanie Robinson - Falling Leaves

At DesignYard, we are delighted to showcase the first full collection by contemporary jeweller Stephanie Robinson. Known for her thoughtful designs and her ability to weave stories into precious metals and gemstones, Stephanie’s new collection Falling Leaves is a celebration of both personal memory and artistic evolution. Over time, her work has evolved — always inventive, always refined — and her newest collection Falling Leaves represents a significant milestone in that journey.

Inspired by Autumn in New England

Stephanie grew up in New England, where the brilliant colours of autumn have always been her favourite season. The annual spectacle of leaves changing and drifting from the trees has left a lasting impression, inspiring her to capture their fleeting beauty in precious form.

The Falling Leaves collection translates these memories into jewellery that combines modern lines with organic shapes — delicate leaves glinting as if caught mid-fall.

Evolution of a Signature Motif

While Stephanie has long incorporated small leaf forms into her one-of-a-kind gem and geometric pieces, Falling Leaves marks the first time she has built an entire collection around this shape. It represents a natural evolution of her practice: from designing around rare gemstones to exploring the expressive potential of form itself.

Leaves, a motif she consistently returns to, have here been expanded into a cohesive  series of works that highlight their versatility and enduring beauty.

Materials and Craftsmanship

The collection features a striking mix of metals, accented with carefully chosen gemstones including Montana sapphires, rhodolite garnets, and reclaimed diamonds. Each piece balances elegance with subtle strength, embodying Stephanie’s signature style — refined, contemporary, and deeply personal.

A Personal Reflection

In Stephanie’s own words:

“Growing up in New England, fall has always been my favourite season. I love watching the leaves change colour and drift through the air. With Falling Leaves, I wanted to create a collection that reflects that delicate, fleeting beauty, combining modern lines with organic shapes.”
