Changes Exhibition at SULA Gallery
A serendipitous sighting of an early morning grass verge on our recent French trip…providing the perfect inspiration for the ‘Changes’ exhibition at Sula Gallery.
A mix of semi precious stones in greens, oranges and browns, carefully selected to represent the late summer grass verge. Finished with a signature handmade clasp in recycled 9ct gold.
The exhibition is open until the 28th October, full of interesting interpretations of changes and well worth a visit.
Organised by the team at the Sula Gallery in conjunction with Guernsey Art Network.

Mondrian to the Abstract
SULA Gallery – February 2024
We were delighted to be involved with SULA Gallery’s first exhibition of the year. The gallery was filled with artworks inspired by the work of Piet Mondrian. Marking 80 years since the Dutch artist’s death.
Athene’s love of Mondrian’s work made this a perfect match. We created a new and unique pair of our recycled guitar plectrum waterfalls inspired by the shapes of Mondrian’s paintings. The earrings were then pinned through Athene’s abstracted self portrait painting on canvas. Using bold reds combined with our favourite french greys and spring greens – our own version of Mondrian’s restrained yet all encompassing primary colour palette.

Second Time Around – Harbour Gallery 2023
This exhibition from the brillant Harbour Gallery was all about using recycled materials in art. It’s right up our alley – so we were delighted to be accepted to display our luxe plectrums earrings.
Each pair is one of a kind and made from recycled bank/store cards which would otherwise be thrown away or gathering dust in wallets, drawers and hiding places.
Turning unwanted bits of junk and found objects into beautifully modern highly wearable jewellery is one of the core values in our making practice.

We’re thrilled to to have been selected for The Folksy Fringe! First we were included in the summer exhibition and then in it’s sister show.
Folksy HQ describe the show – “ When we were curating the Summer Exhibition we found we didn’t have space for everything we wanted to include, and so the idea of a Fringe was formed. We hope you love it as much as we do! “
If you missed the Edinburgh Fringe – you can visit Folksy instead.
Included were our bronze pearl waterfalls – the perfect complement to our gold ormer pendant which was featured in the main exhibition.
The metallic coin pearls in these earrings reflect a stunning range of colours which just look so stunning no matter the lighting. They are like tiny disco balls – an ode to our love of the genre.

We’re delighted to have been be selected for the first annual Folksy Summer exhibition. Put together to celebrate the talent and craftsmanship of UK makers.
We are in excellent company with a wide selection of makers using a vast range of different materials and techniques.
Featured was our recyled gold Ormer pendant – A handmade ‘caricature’ of an Ormer Shell. This is our version of the Ormer, pared down to its beautifully simplified basic characteristics.
This pendant just looks so stunning when worn.
