I will post a few preview pictures of some new jewellery over the next couple of weeks!

Following a trip to the Goldsmiths Company Library I am currently designing new pieces for my silversmithing collection, designed for the dressing table. 

Here are a few things that have been inspiring me.

Also I am now selling work online through the House of Jewellers. A new retail site for jeweller designer makers....

Inspirations from the Archive.

I will be going back this evening along with fellow Bishopslanders to view our work on display as part of the "Inspirations from the Archive exhibition" at the V&A. My piece is a decorative pot and lid for containing loose powder. Designed to be displayed o the dressing table the hand engraved lid is inspired by engraving patterns found in an out of use compact powder case. The engraving is loose and free, circling the edge of the lid, as inspired by decorative casting patterns I found within the V&A archive collections. All work is shown along with the inspiration and design work.
