Weaving with metal, stories from my Square collection
I bring you the tale of my Square collection and the surprising source of its inspiration.
Charlie's Stack
When Charlie was building a stack she knew she wanted a Square band in the mix, she explains;
‘I adore the different shapes and patterns found in Jo’s designs. I’m very into texture and mixing metals rather than gems - Jo’s designs *really* speak to me. I’ve been gradually building a set of Jo stacking rings over the last few years, and love having a Square band among them to accentuate the lovely patterns created between the linear Square and the zigzag of the Parquet, and the undulating surface of the Hex band.’
Geometric Jewels
My fascination with geometric shape and form started many moons ago at Camberwell Art College when I experimented with sculptures and in particular, intricate 3D patterns.
I’m dyslexic and words don’t always come naturally to me but 3D objects really do. I had a light bulb moment one day while I was exploring miniature sculptures, when I realised jewellery design would be a brilliant outlet for my growing obsession with these geometric shapes.
Redefining your jewels
There are so many reasons your may have jewellery at home that's precious but unworn, here I talk about what repurposing is, and why it’s so powerful.
Ecologi - We are Planting a forest!
We constantly look for ways to be more eco-friendly. It's an ongoing process for us; we scrutinise all our suppliers, look closely at where our materials are sourced and choose responsibly sourced, fairtrade and fully traceable materials whenever possible. Another step we've
