Gabriel Craig, selected jewellery

These super brooches result from a collaboration with Amy Weiks. The resultant jewelry playfully combined their disparate interests in historic decorative motifs, kinetic jewelry, implied narratives, line, and jewelry mechanisms. The brooches are made exclusively from recycled or reclaimed materials.

Melanie Bilenker Jewellery

This incredible brooch features a 'drawing' made in hair!

Brooch made from resin, gold and hair

This ring is made from citrine, gold and hair.
In a similar way to the Victorians, who kept lockets of hair and miniature portraits painted with ground hair and pigment to secure the memory of a lost love, Melanie Bilenker secures her memories through images rendered in lines of her own hair.
She selects quiet moments, the mundane and the domestic to preserve in her gold, resin and hair pieces of jewellery.

Diamonds and Dead Things

Kelly McCallum graduated from the Goldsmithing department of the Royal College of Art in 2006.
She's interested in the stories of how things age, how they decay or are preserved, are forgotten, covered in shrouds of grime, only to be found again and given new meanings by our own sentimentality.
Her work includes taxidermy and insects, which are exquisitely preserved and altered by her use of gold, pearls and precious gems. Not for the faint-hearted, these works are cutting-edge.

Louise Gray's new jewellery line

Central Saint Martins grad and purveyor of maximalist fashion Louise Gray launched a capsule jewellery collection with a range of nine gold-plated pendants, rings and earrings.

The collection features googley-eyed earrings, heart-shaped rings and pendants with containers of French fries and anthropomorphic lions and captures the same sense of over-the-top fun and colorful pop playfulness that Gray's ready-to-wear lines have become known for.
