Copper turquoise, with its captivating blend of blue-green hues and copper veins, holds deep symbolic meaning. Known as a stone of communication and creativity, copper turquoise is believed to enhance intuition and encourage artistic expression. Its vibrant colours evoke feelings of tranquillity and vitality, making it a perfect complement to the dahlia’s symbolism.

A Full Circle Moment with Bangles

silver bangles sustainable handmade stacking

Bangles have been one of those Jewellery pieces that I used to be a go and and would wear in abundance! Jingling and jangling all over the place. As I became a full time jeweller, I started to find they were a bit of a pain to wear when working and eventually just stopped wearing them. Therefore I was not as inspired to make them for a while.

With the launch of the Bangle Making Workshop, I knew it was time to get back into making and wearing Silver Bangles!

DESIGN

The journey of designing this collection started with the feature Bangles and was so fun experiment with so many ideas and get into the design process. An Astrology themed one was a must and loved featuring all star signs, stars and moons flowing around the band.

The Patterns were a little harder to crack as my designs on paper came out ver busy and intense in person, so I went with the Archie design as it had movement and flow without being intense!

Lastly the Daisy Bangle came out a love of nature and a love of the 70’s vibe. After having the Daisy Jones and the Six soundtrack in my head the whole time I was designing, it needed to be in the full Flower power theme!

The thinner bangles were an exploration of texture. So i pulled out the very heavy rolling mill and got to experimenting! From this the Lace Bangle was a quick decision and the the Spiral had a few false starts before it came into its own with both a rolled texture and then twisted to get the unique spiral formation.

The Pentagon Bangle was the last of all to evolve even though i sampled this exact design for the workshops, i was wanting to find a new way, but sometimes you just have to go with your first instincts and commit!

Behind the Pendulum

One of my big loves in the creative process is to see the evolution of a piece from the design stage, through to the prototype and then to the final piece. The Pendulum Collection is the first collection to be designed and implemented across my main two mediums – Glass and Silver.

The original inspiration for this piece were based on Art Deco patterns. There are so many homes that have been stripped of their original Deco features, so this is my nod to those lost pieces. I really love the few curved motifs in this style so the fish scale pattern was the basis of the design.

The other main feel for the piece was to have a feel of a chandelier. Having movement and having more light reflection. Therefore the rest of the form came from creating balance in multiple hanging pieces.

As the Glass version of this piece was the first design, where colour was the eye catching focal point, the Silver was more about flipping the script. Where texture became the main body focus and colour to accentuate the Chandelier quality of the design.

Each Silver piece has a different texture to catch and reflect the light differently all created with hammer techniques. Creating it in both Earrings and a long Pendant to really get lots of movement as you move.

Colour is added through semi precious stone drops each with their own energy, so you can match your colour palette or bring in more a certain energy. Explore each meaning below.

Rose Quartz: is the stone of universal love. It restores trust and harmony in relationships, encouraging unconditional love. Rose Quartz purifies and opens the heart at all levels to promote love, self-love, friendship, deep inner healing and feelings of peace.

Aquamarine: has a calming quality to help reduce stress and find stillness of mind. It is a stone of is a stone of courage.  Its calming energies reduce stress and quiet the mind. It also helps clarify your thoughts and clear and confusion.

Amazonite: Known as the ‘hope stone’. Said to awaken compassion for others, calm aggression and soothe the chakras. It enhances loving communication and is incredibly healing.

I hope you have enjoyed exploring the inspiration behind this beautiful collection and please feel free to check them out online now!
