Mollie Paling is a Brighton based jeweller founded in 2015, her focus on sustainability and the handmade process has informed her practice from its conception. Inspired by her adoration for geometric form and simplistic design she has built a distinct style.
In 2021 Mollie opened Flux Jewellery with fellow jeweller Alice Ashton in the idyllic town of Lewes, East Sussex. Located in The Old Needlemakers, she makes and sells her own work.
As a graduate of Jewellery and Goldsmithing at the Craft Council of Ireland, Mollie has transferred this intensive training of traditional technique and skill alongside her eye for contemporary design and detail, into her practice today.
Her eye for geometric shapes and detail comes from Mollies innate love of architecture and linear form. She channels this into her work by creating unique pieces for everyday wear within thoughtful collections, as well as offering bespoke commissions in which she creates an atmosphere where the client is closely involved in the design journey.
With a strong focus on sustainable materials, Mollie understands the importance of using recycled and ethically sourced products where possible and is a firm believer in quality over quantity. She creates pieces that are designed to last and be cherished by the wearer, while trying to make as little impact on the environment as she can, Mollie's ethos is ‘to reuse and remodel’ where possible.
Wax Ring Workshops.
More recently Mollie has held Wax Ring carving workshops in various locations. Teaching a small group of students to design and hand carve their own bespoke rings. These classes are a chance for students to practice and challenge their creative side. To gain a small experience into the process that goes into making a piece of lost-waxed cast jewellery. The intimate classes allow students to create and keep a ring unique to them. For further interest into a class please message Mollie or follow her Instagram for updates.
