David McLeod is a sculptor and jeweller whose practice centres on material, form, and restraint. Beginning his career in large scale carving before moving into smaller, wearable works, his approach remains deeply informed by a sculptor’s sensibility and attention to detail.
Working with shell, stone, precious metals and gemstones, McLeod allows each material to lead. His pieces are guided by their natural character through colour, density, surface and structure, resulting in jewellery that feels considered, balanced and quietly resolved.
Alongside this sensitivity to material is a commitment to clarity. Many of his designs are simple and contemporary, where form, proportion and finish carry the work without the need for embellishment or explanation. The result is jewellery that is understated and distinctive, pieces that sit comfortably in everyday life while retaining a strong sense of authorship.
At Kina, David’s work is valued for its integrity, craftsmanship and ease of wear. These are pieces that speak softly but confidently, shaped by experience, material understanding, and a refined contemporary eye.
