Prison Pink Necklace 2020
This necklace is inspired by the colour theory essay of the same name which you can read here. This piece was made from turquoise, lava stone and howlite beads, which is closed with a handmade sterling silver clasp . The bright pink lava stones that make up this necklace make it a great statement piece. This necklace has now been sold, however if you are interested in seeing any of the colour theory jewellery that we currently have available in our shop click here.

One of the things we love about our work is the fact that our clients approach us with random requests that are right up our street. We loved making these ring pull earrings. Almost as much as this client loves their Mythos.
Made from the ring pull of a can and with a lovely dangle stone, these earrings are one of a kind.

Purple
Coach House Gallery, February 2019.
We were excited to have been invited back to the Coach House Gallery for another exhibition based on colour, following the success of Yellow.
We were delighted to have taken part in the “Purple” exhibition at the Coach House Gallery, St Peters, Guernsey.
This time the theme was the colour ‘Purple.’ This exhibition included work from a group of invited artists
For this exhibition we created a triptych of show stopping jewellery in the best colour ever – purple. Once again, there is an accompanying essay, where we spill the purple beans.
> These are an enriched version of our bestselling style of waterfall earrings, festooned with purple freshwater pearls, a much more elaborate earring.
Lovely and light to wear, but beautifully long, dangly and eye catching, Each pearl hangs separately from the chain, and they spiral around the centre line in such a way that the earrings are a mirror image of each other.
< Mary Quant eat your heart out. Massive blowsy flowers in purple leather, embellished with amethysts and dyed jade hearts. Hugely over the top, outsized and not for the faint hearted. We love making things like these, real show stopping pieces.

Mother of the Bride
A headdress created for a mother of the bride with a love of freesias. We created a whimsical, barely there headdress as she didn’t want to wear a hat but still wanted to look ‘done’. This piece combined a mix of millinery and jewellery techniques to fabulous effect.

Reflections of Occupation
The reflections of occupation exhibition took place in 2018.
Guernsey was occupied by the German forces for most of the Second World War, from 30 June 1940 until the “liberation” on 9 May 1945.
This theme was chosen by Visit Guernsey to coincide with the film, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society which was perfect for us with our range of Potato Peel Jewellery which was displayed in the Greenhouse Gallery at the Guernsey Museum at Candie.
