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.

Greenery and Purple Colour Theory Necklace 2020

This necklace is made from a combination of raw amethyst chunks and green lavastone beads. It fastens with a handmade sterling silver clasp.

We think the little green lavastone beads look just like little peas. This is why we showed this necklace off on Great British Pea Week. An event dedicated to promoting the pea in our meals.
Amethyst is reputed to have a calming effect and is said to bring balance to the life of the wearer.

Portrait Exhibition
Sula Gallery – February 2022
We had to put our thinking caps on for this exhibition , how can we create a portrait with jewellery?
After a bit of thinking and a few cups of licorice tea, we had our light bulb moment. Jewellery is often an expression of ourselves and even if it is not the first thing you think of, it’s already somewhat of a portrait. The choice of colours, shapes, textures and stones can express a lot about a person.
So we choose one of our favourite selfies and created a quick self portrait using pastel crayons, (having not drawn anything since the 90’s, be kind) then from the colours, shapes and textures we observed we picked out stones that complemented them. Now when the necklace is worn it will suit the wearer perfectly.
The necklace is made from a variety of stones, warm pink opals, red rubies and orange carnelian. Contrasted with a brilliant blue opal, which picks out the colour from the sunglasses and ocean in the background. And very handily picks out the eye colour too.
To display our portrait we have combined the pastel drawing with the necklace to allow them to complement each other and show the relationship between the inspiration and the colours.
