Jane Adam was born in London and studied at Manchester Polytechnic and the Royal College of Art.

Her appreciation of colour, line and form combine to make strong but delicate and sensual pieces which combine artistic integrity and technical innovation with a grounded sense of practical reality.

Her jewellery is included in many major public collections, including those of the V&A, Crafts Council, Goldsmiths’ Company and National Museums of Scotland. She has served as a trustee for the Association for Contemporary Jewellery, Crafts Council and Cockpit Arts.

She works in a studio at her home in South West London.
