A Seed of an Idea...
The Process
Outcome
Inspiration for this collection was drawn from the setting sun and how it overlaps our industrial landscape. The Skyline Collection consists of 3 butterfly clasp brooches, 3 lobster clasp necklaces and 2 slip-on bracelets, made from 14K yellow gold and sterling silver. The 2 elements of the jewellery are lost wax cast and are then slotted together and strengthened with small spot welds.
The jewellery represents harmony between our natural and industrial worlds.
