Jonathan Boyd is a jeweller and artist working from his studio in Glasgow.

Jonathan’s work is collected by private and public collections internationally with pieces being owned by public collections of The V&A, The Scottish Government, Glasgow Transport Museum, The Royal College of Art and others.

Jonathan creates work through an extensive period of research and a rigorous artistic methodology. As an art form jewellery connects with us on a visceral, emotional level. We embed memories in the objects we choose to adorn us, because of this Jonathan believes that jewellery is a perfect medium for exploring narratives and themes which explore the human experience and he believes the audience care not only how an object is crafted but also why it is made.

In 2014 he was the designer and lead manufacturer of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Medals, Packaging and Commemorative medals. Jonathan also played a key role in the design of other aspects of the medal ceremonies such as podiums, trays etc. The Commonwealth Games are the second largest multi sport games after the Olympics. These medals got international press coverage with 1514 medals made in total which were believed to have been seen by an audience of well over 2 billion.
