Kit Heath, founder of the British jewellery brand, has died aged 69.
Heath, who was diagnosed with brain cancer in July, died on 26 September at his home in North Devon, surrounded by his wife and children.
Heath established his reputation in the 1980s as a designer in the UK silver jewellery industry.
In later years he stepped back from the day-to-day running of the business, with leadership passing to his sister, Katie Nickell.
Heath is survived by his wife, Lizzie, and their four children, Annabel, Ollie, Alex and Mimi. A funeral service will be held on 22 October.
Nickell, managing director of the company, said: “Kit’s legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of everything we do. We remain committed to honouring my brother’s vision, and to continuing the journey he started.”
