ABOUT US
The Jewellery - Materials and Processes
We aim to make beautifully hand crafted pieces of jewellery which are affordable and have an intrinsic quality in both design and making. Whilst the collection has developed over the years, the work is probably best known for its original simple shapes and the words 'on and on and on' written around rings. The Sibyl pendants are still as popular as ever - the 21 words such as 'vision' or 'play' are designed to impart meaning to the wearer.
The range of jewellery is available in silver with or without 22ct gold etch or in solid 18ct gold or platinum. Diamonds are guaranteed conflict free.
We are now able to offer a limited supply of ethically produced gold, ie where the supply chain is transparent and is guaranteed not to exploit the labour force or adversely affect the environment. This gold is 10-15% more expensive than the current market price and we can make quotes for any pieces in our collections or for commissions. However, our aim is to work with the UK jewellery industry to influence the way that precious metals are produced, so that ethical production becomes the norm.
Original pieces are usually crafted from silver sheet which is acid etched and then cast using the lost wax method. Castings are made in gold,platinum or silver and these are then worked on by the team using various techniques to achieve the finished pieces. Some of the designs, such as the spinning rings require particularly advanced skills. Tiny diamonds are usually gypsy or flush set, whilst larger diamonds require more complex settings.
