ALL That Glitters: Britain’s Next Jewellery Star sees a group of talented jewellers show off their skills.
Canadian comic Katherine Ryan hosts the show, while the contestants have to impress two judges who know a thing or two about top class jewellery – Shaun Leane and Dinny Hall
Who is All That Glitters judge Shaun Leane?
Shaun Leane is one of the UK’s most experienced and talented jewellers.
Born and raised in Finsbury Park, London, Shaun enrolled in a youth training scheme for jewellery design at Kingsway Princeton College of Further Education in Clerkenwell aged just 15.
Clearly passionate about his craft, he then started a seven-year apprenticeship with English Traditional Jewellery in London’s jewellery quarter, Hatton Garden, where he became a classically trained goldsmith.
What is Shaun Leane’s net worth?
According to CelebrityWiki.com, Shaun boasts a net worth of anywhere between $1m and $5m.
In 1999 Leane founded Shaun Leane Jewellery, a company that prides itself on producing jewellery collections alongside large-scale fashion pieces.
Shaun has more than two decades worth of experience
The company aims to combine traditional craftsmanship with modern design and computer-aided design techniques.
Shaun has regularly claimed he cites inspiration from the art and fashion worlds, from history and nature and from romance in literature and poetry.
Which celebrities has Shaun Leane made jewellery for?
Shaun has had his work worn by a number of famous faces, most notably fashion icon Alexander McQueen.
After the pair met in 1992, Shaun eventually ended up working on eight shows a year for McQueen and Givenchy.
For the 2001 Autumn/Winter McQueen show What a Merry Go Round, Leane had to teach himself taxidermy to create earrings of pheasant claws clutching Tahitian pearls.
The duo worked together for 17 years before McQueen’s tragic death in 2010.
Names as big as Meghan Markle and Cara Delevingne are often pictured wearing Shaun’s jewellery, with Jodie Comer also sporting a pair of his earrings while playing Villanelle on Killing Eve.
