This year at International Jewellery London, there was a great selection of more traditional as well as contemporary jewellery.

One of our favourites was 'Momocreatura:
'Momocreatura' - beautiful pieces as seen at IJL, 2010
Momo studied fine arts and jewellery making in Japan and graduated MA Design: jewellery at Central Saint Martins College of Arts & Design.

Her jewellery explores the boundaries between reality and fantasy through the depiction of fairy-tale inspired images. Influenced by European antique jewellery of the 16th-19th century and post-war Japanese sub culture, her references combine to create figurative macabre objects.

They are more like 3D illustration or wearable miniature sculptures rather than fashionable jewellery.The silver and gold pieces are finely handcrafted assemblages of child-like imagination, suggestive of ambiguous, twisted humour.
