Entrepreneurship: New Business Ventures programme – Having the Courage To Help Change the Jewellery Industry
Thelma West designs fine jewellery from her studio in the heart of Soho, London. Her pieces are one-of-a-kind, showcasing diamonds and jewels that are carefully sourced for their ethical provenance. And in recent years, they have caught the eye of some of the biggest stars in the world. US actress, Zendaya, is a fan. And at the 2021 Met Gala, the singer Rihanna was snapped wearing the Thelma West Rebel Black diamond ring. Meanwhile, West’s rising star has been profiled by the likes of Vogue, The New York Times and Forbes Magazine.
With the media spotlight on her work, and her business experiencing meteoric growth and international expansion, West was at an inflection point in 2022.
