Beautiful handcrafted jewellery and fashion accessories made with genuine Roman, Viking, Medieval and Tudor antiquities found in Britain. Necklaces, handbags, cuffs, belts and cufflinks giving a modern twist to recycling historical
artefacts.
English Relics pays homage to British History, a celebration of the past brought to life as wearable art. Peter Leathers, an Internationally acclaimed fashion designer, with a love of antiquities, has married style and history and created a new approach
to jewellery.
Every English Relics piece incorporates a genuine Roman, Viking, Medieval or Tudor antiquity discovered in Britain.
Peter says he is a conduit channelling the essence of the historical artefact which in turn designs itself. He strongly believes in preserving the integrity of the artefacts and explains that they ultimately determine the look of a piece; both aesthetically
and technically.
Peter, who is based in Yorkshire, handcrafts every item even down to the tooling of the leather used in some pieces. He rejects where possible modern technology favouring instead his vast collection of antique tools and equipment to help facilitate his
designs.
He is passionate about his work and loves being able to bring to life antiquities that have withstood the test of hundreds if not thousands of years.
