Lindey Tydeman Jewellery
Jeweller Lindey Tydeman uses electroforming to create her collections, a technique that allows her to grow precious metals on organic forms, revealing contrasts in texture and tone. Lindey uses a blend of recycled sterling silver, copper, and gold. Inspired by the sea, her textural surfaces are reminiscent of coral, barnacles and oceanic crust.
Ring made from a blend of silver and gold by Lindey Tydeman, a TOAST New Maker 2025. This ring is organically textured through the process of electroforming, casting an original design with a unique surface. Yellow and red gold grains are added, creating a striking contrast of colour. Made from recycled sterling silver, with 9ct red and yellow gold.
Lindey draws on her previous career in knitted textiles to inform her practice, where handcraft and material culture play an essential role in her work. Her pieces are handmade, combining precious metals using electroforming for contrasting forms of colour and texture.

Forming New Surfaces
Lindey Tydeman draws on a background in knitted textiles to inform her jewellery practice, where handcraft and material culture are central to her process. Based in the UK, Lindey creates one-of-a-kind pieces using electroforming, a technique that allows her to grow layers of precious metal over organic forms, building intricate surfaces that reveal contrasts in texture and tone.
Favouring handheld tools over mechanised equipment, Lindey works slowly and intuitively. This measured pace gives her a sense of closeness to the piece as it takes shape. Her inspiration often comes from the sea, realised in the reticulated, bubbled textures she coaxes from the metal, reminiscent of coral, barnacles, and oceanic crust.
Her collection for TOAST is made of sculptural yet wearable pieces, each with a quiet sense of transformation - materials grown and shaped over time through careful attention and elemental processes.
