James
Founder & Managing Director
James spent two decades in the jewellery industry before founding Noah James Jewellery in 2019 — learning the craft from the back of a busy workshop, working in Canada with ethically mined diamonds, and training in 3D CAD design. That hands-on journey across every corner of the industry gave him a clear conviction: that jewellery should be ethical at its heart, and as individual as the person wearing it.
