Heather Rajaratnam
Heather Rajaratnam is a London-based jewellery designer who creates bold, sculptural pieces for individuals with a confident, distinctive style. Coloured gemstones are central to her design philosophy, reflecting both her creative vision and technical expertise.
During regular family visits to Sri Lanka, where in the 1970s her mother-in-law qualified as the first female gemmologist in the country, Heather developed a deep appreciation for coloured gemstones. Inspired by this legacy, she studied at the Gemmological Association of Great Britain in the U K., graduating in 2025 as a Fellow (FGA), a prestigious qualification that underpins her specialist knowledge.
Heather’s passion for coloured gemstones, combined with her attention to detail and understanding of jewellery manufacturing, enables her to bring each design to life with a fresh, contemporary perspective. Her new collection will launch in Summer 2026.
Heather is passionate about sourcing exceptional gemstones, especially to mark life’s most meaningful moments – those occasions when only precious metals and gemstones will do. She particularly enjoys collaborating closely with her clients, guiding them through the creative processes involved in crafting unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. She welcomes clients by appointment at her workshop within the Goldsmiths’ Centre in London, or at her Sussex studio.
Studio
Having spend several years at the Rye Creative Centre, Heather has moved her workspace to the Goldsmiths Centre, London. She will work from both London and in her Sussex based workshop at home.
Heather would be delighted to meet in either London, Sussex or online for consultations regarding commissions, gemstone sourcing and design/manufacturing work that Heather can help you with.
