‘I am particularly drawn to the spiral as an archaic form,’ says economist-turned-jeweller Decker. ‘To me, it is a powerful allegory of our connections and common humanity.’ Decker spins her endless rounds in recycled silver and Fairtrade gold. ’I source my materials from small artisanal mining cooperatives,’ she adds.

‘Rope symbolises confinement or restriction whilst simultaneously the opposite - joining together, strength in unity,’ says Lucie Gledhill of her intertwining gold. ‘I hope to capture these intriguing contradictions in my work.’ The jeweller’s new designs expose the link interiors on the outside, stripping away the mystery of making to reveal the craftsmanship at the core.

Emmeline Hastings
Emmeline Hasting’s background in sculpture informs her signature techniques of hand carving acrylic and embedding precious metallic elements into it. Her work is characterised by free flowing textures in acrylic and the waves of shimmering precious metals that seem to ripple through it. ‘It captures movement and curiosity,’ she explains, ‘as if the pieces are bristling with life.’

The metalsmith’s new pieces contrast forms to create a tension; as in simple, substantial bowls ‘interrupted’ by lighter, complex structures.
