Tilly Sveaas founded her eponymous brand in 2016. Born in Hong Kong to British-Norwegian parents, London-based Tilly has been a jewellery designer for over 25 years, creating her first pieces during an extended trip to Bali, where she still produces to this day.

Sourcing experts and suppliers in both Asia and Europe she has been able to bring her free spirited nature and love of travelling into the foundation of the brand. In the last decade her pieces have graced the pages of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and Marie Claire, as well as Forbes, The Times and The NY Times.

Her inimitable style features an eclectic mix of links, chains and pendants, which form the building blocks of every collection. By playing with scale and weight, these timeless elements are re-imagined to glorious effect, resulting in a contemporary collection with by-gone charm.

History of the T-Bar
In 2016, the introduction of her signature T-bar necklace, inspired by her Great-Great-Uncle’s gold pocket watch and chain, demonstrated how much-loved antiques are at the heart of the brand. To modernise timeless classics is one of the brand’s main mission statements.

The iconic piece is undoubtedly what the brand is best known for, now enjoying cult status amongst the fashion press, celebrities (Taylor Swift, Kylie Jenner, Elle Macpherson and Rita Ora included) and customers alike. The T-Bar’s popularity continues to escalate, with new designs being introduced to the collection on an ongoing basis. It runs through the majority of our designs, as either a clasp or a stand alone pendant. The visually recognisable silhouette has become our signature.

Tilly Sveaas has created jewellery with the purpose of longevity rather than seasonality.
