"Ready Steady Jewel" The Auction

So, I have I know been a little lame lately. The last few months have been a bit of a whirlwind! Just as the dust is settling after Origin, it's Christmas stocking time! You can see where I'll be exhibiting and supplying just down on the right hand side there.

Now that the "Ready Steady Jewellers" (as mentioned in an earlier post 'Ready Steady Jewel') have designed and made their pieces, the work is now on show in the window of Hamilton & Inches, George St, Edinburgh. Go and take a peak at the gorgeous jewels that will go on auction this Saturday evening at the 'Out of the Blue Studios' Drill Hall.

About my work

Working with silver and gold, I use my own customized technique of fusion to create textured sheets. I overlap petal like shapes into regular and irregular patterns. By working and forming the metal in various ways, I produce delicate pieces of jewellery resembling flora and fauna. Large neckpieces, brooches and rings are made up of continuous floral and bud clusters, whilst others are constructed of fine sheet layers that glisten and often move when handled or worn.

If you are intersested in any of the pieces shown here or in any post or would like to commission me, you can contact me either by phone or email (details above).
