Dawn Cotton Fuge was born and raised in New York. Her interest in beaded jewellery began at the age of 13 when she made bracelets and sold them on commission at a shop near her home in Manhattan. She studied Vocal Music at the famed High School of the Arts.

In 1989 she moved to the UK and completed degrees in Anthropology at Durham University and Law at Edinburgh University. It was after the birth of her two children, Aidan and Joely, that Dawn returned to her artistic roots and began to create unique items of jewellery. She was influenced in part by her very talented aunt, the jewellery designer Jeanette Cotton.

Dawn quickly built up a dedicated client base in the UK. Working with only the finest quality semi-precious gemstones cut to her requirements in India, Dawn produces unique items of jewellery that have a romantic edge, reminiscent of the glamour of the 1930s, but reinterpreted for today.
