The Creator
Born in Walsall, based in Telford.
20-something-year-old who appreciates the stories behind forgotten pieces of history.
The Brand
Established in 2025.
The 16th century was the birth year of metalworking in the Black Country, West Midlands, UK.
I wanted 16th Collective to denote the history of my own birthplace and the role it had in the rise of the metalwork industry.
The Inspiration
Vintage and antique tableware, utensils and other unappreciated metalwork that are carefully sourced and have seen decades of time.
The Vision
To upcycle those forgotten pieces of history and transform them into distinctive jewellery that can be worn daily and remembered forever.
