Guy Royle was born in Devon but has lived in Cornwall for most of his life. He works from a studio in west Cornwall. At the age of 30, he became assistant to his neighbour, the artist Breon O'CASEY. Over the next 25 years they worked together, and from his mentor Guy learned the craft of jewellery making. Royle uses gold, silver and bronze together with beautifully coloured semi-precious stones in order to create his unique hand-crafted pieces. Those who collect his work consider him to be an artist of exceptional sculptural ability.
