Enigmatic wearables, Lucy Harvey

Had you ever thought about wearing old pen knibs made into a pair of earrings?





Lucy Harvey has! She is described as 'elevating mundane and forgotten objects to significant keepsakes', and she certainly does. She works on personal adornment and comes up with some very wearable pieces, if her particular style is your choice. What a wonderful gift these earrings would make too, if you had someone you knew who was interested in creative writing, just plain ordinary writing, calligraphy, book illustration and so on. A present with a difference, that's for sure.

Natural born jewellers

Are you attracted by nature?
If you like animals and birds take a peek at two jewellers whose work echoes the world around us. There's Eileen Gatt, who now works in the Scottish Highlands, and who collaborated with some Highland story tellers and used some other Scottish customs to give her a starting point for her new designs.


There's Alison Haddon, who studies
birds and their habitats and is inspired by what she sees in her garden. Some of her jewellery incorporates found wood and feathers. Their miniaturised versions of animals make wonderful pieces to wear, and will reflect your interest in our bird life and wild animals.
