</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My confidence when it comes to making (especially with anything involving metal) is still pretty low... and especially when you know that you're working in a group, it makes it that much harder and more of a pressure to not make mistakes. That's why I was more than happy to go out and source the materials and get things organised in a sketchbook and power-point rather than to start drilling precisely measured out holes into our final wooden halo. It just wasn't just my piece after all, it was all of ours. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know that in the past (with maths being a weakness of mine) I have been prone to making mistakes with taking specific measurements under pressure, and I didn't want it to effect the whole groups final piece! So on that note, Elizabeth and I went out around London to find all the things we needed, whilst other members got technical...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made a list (a seemingly recurring action within our group!): </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">string (and lots of it!) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">metal tubing </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">metal wire for our handmade hooks</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">some form of weights</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">embroidery hoops (three, and all different sizes)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">some form of natural pigments (for our performance piece)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">bowls to contain the pigments</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">eyelets for the drilled holes </span></li>
</ul>
<br />

So, it really did prove useful. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing we all didn't think of though, was how each beaded string would jumble together once movement was applied to the piece...This was a real test to all our levels of patience! (something we all found out we didn't have much of when it came to untangling string...) It took us up to three hours to un-knot the mass of mess - and this did not just happen once, but so many times so, that Xiosha, Elizabeth and I seemed to have mastered the technique of untangling by the end of it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When it came to discuss how we were going to present our final piece, we had several options:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) to perform our ritualistic piece in front on everyone on the day - with no film and discuss</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) to present a film of our performance with our model wearing the final product in the background and discuss our ideas with the help of a power point presentation.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The group was very much divided between the two. Although having the performance live would have been more powerful, we all ended up deciding on option 2) and, as a result, the film is something we all now have for life and can share with everyone else too....</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">The design and ideas process was definitely one of the toughest and most difficult aspects for us. It was great that everyone had so many opinions and ways of thinking but on the other hand it also created a lot of conflict and tension amongst the group. It wasn’t like we were all working for one fashion house/label that had one particular aesthetic; we were all different individuals with different visions and tastes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At this point, our project was starting to overwhelm everyone as fashion felt the need to design the jewellery and jewellery also wanted to have a say in the design of the garment. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The more and more we launched and fired ideas at each other, the more intense, energy-consuming and chaotic it became. Luckily though, our next project review was due...(I feel like they always came at just about the right time!)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The tutors wisely suggested that we make a list of the key points we were investigating in our project and wanted to convey through our pieces. We then would have to stop going round and round in circles and just take action. (We only had one week left)</span></span></div>

designs. I didn’t really feel satisfied with what we had come up (even despite having made a lot of progress.) It's just so easy to play it safe…Plus,
I was hoping for that one finished, spectacular idea…One which could leave me
feeling certain, but we had a huge range of ideas that everyone was umm-ing and err-ing about. And when some of us are confused or unsure, I've learnt that it certainly effects the mood of the rest of the group. Then</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> you just find yourself spending a lot of the time worrying about everyone else and checking whether they are happy or not, on top of your own feelings! </span></div>

always happens when you are a little bit of a perfectionist like me. I just hoped that everyone would be confident on our
final design or want it to be even better than how we were envisaging it now. Plus, not knowing how the rest of the group were getting on (or feeling) had me on edge...</span></span></div>

own natural pigments and instruments for mark-making. Eggs, spices, chalk and food colourings were all some of the ingredients we took pleasure in using. </span></span></div>

I guess, lives from the reinvention of its past. So researching into the history
of it all seems essential in terms of taking the next step…. the ideas and
designing of our collection. But we need to remember that we need to elaborate
on the information and research we get, adding a great deal of our group
personality into it and making it essentially our own.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As part of our next unit, Central Saint Martins asked our jewellery course to collaborate with fashion womenswear. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because fashion design was initially what I wanted to study, I was so so excited but also (admittedly) very fearful at the prospect of dealing with all the intensity that the fashion world can bring...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've learnt that every challenge and experience is a good one (despite finding it VERY hard to see at first). Whether it be a disaster or success, they really <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 115%;">will make you grow somehow, learn something new about yourself and also about the world around you.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The brief consisted of producing a series of six fully styled, dramatic and creative outfits (all incorporating some kind of jewellery piece) for a shop window of our choice to essentially promote British fashion and jewellery during London Fashion Week. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With the Gagosian gallery just being a 5 minute walk away from our Kings Cross campus, we decided to start our journey there. Having had a little gossip and chat on the way (typical) we were all soon hit with the hugeness of Georg Baselitz' gutsy creations. </span></div>

person like me) it also left me feeling very sore after craning my neck so high as
to fathom every detail of his monumental paintings. Furthermore, with the additional adoption of such an obscure upside-down orientation, it created even more of a strain, as it had my head bending at all kinds of awkward angles!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was so exhilarating to take part in creating a piece of architecture with complete strangers. It made the whole process that much more unexpected and unique. </span></div>

– it could not possibly be replicated...For example, t</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">he sounds of people in the spaces would
be entirely different, the mark-making would also become more layered and more intense and

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 15pt;">Apparently this (weirdly) pleasing food painting of Homer Simpson’s warm dribble is an attempt to reveal his
vitality. After an
episode of 'The Simpsons' in which cartoon character Homer somehow 'cheats death', he
finally vows to the world (and to himself) to live life to the fullest. The
following week we see him eating pork chops and watching </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">TV</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 15pt;">.

made by furniture which had been sitting there. After all the furniture had
been moved out, I saw marks of where things used to be. It signalled the
passing of time for me. These works also allow me to explore my interest in the
relationship between people and painting.” </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-indent: -18pt;">I found this to be so poetic and beautiful...to notice and interact with marks that tell a story through their history is such a wonderful concept. </span></div>

Ibiza. (</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Don’t worry though, the exhibition was based on the island in
all its glory in the early 80s, so it was Ibiza before ‘Ibiza became Ibiza’ - if you know what I mean…)</span></div>

quirky and also often controversial. I liked the offbeat vibe each piece of
work/room had - I was certainly shocked by some of the new, unorthodox techniques
used by the artists. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Upon entry you are immediately transported into a whole new world via that truly magical carpet ride you've always dreamed of. </span></div>

fine… so I maybe exaggerating a little… I am certainly no Aladdin and it's
not really a<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em><span style="font-style: normal;">magic carpet</span></em>, but
it truly is the closest thing! )</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found the piece enrapturing. It moved me into a cold, modern world of gimmicky creation. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I could really feel it's sense of weightiness</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> as soon as I saw it. I felt heavy but enjoyably confused as I witnessed something so seemingly traditional yet cleverly made with such a great and well-known contemporary material.</span></div>

unusual materials. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Th</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is ephemeral,
stretched out, site-specific carpet is made from our everyday materials such as spices,
soap and food. His work is deliberately fragile, and Mareschal expects his
audiences to participate in transforming it too– for example, by eating the food!</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I couldn't believe the crisp precision of all the lines and edges! I liked how it wasn't totally perfect though...I could see a few smudges here and there and that just proved to me that those ornate tiles really were made from those deceiving and unusual materials we all know oh so well. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gazing in amazement at the piece, I suddenly felt like a child, I had the incredible urge to blow on the piece and experience that gentle and sensual whirlwind of spice and colour...one can only imagine what it might be like though!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With my Christmas homework in mind...designer Florie Salnot really stood out for me. <span style="background-color: white;">She
transforms discarded plastic bottles into beautiful pieces of jewellery. A
craft she also created to empower<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white;">Saharawi<i> </i>refugees.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
process is somewhat simple. By cutting painted plastic bottles into fine
strips, weaving it around nails and finally submerging it in hot sand, Salnot has the power to make the non-precious, precious. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So it's that time of year again when exhibitions and outings are in full swing and I just can't wait...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> an attempt to walk off all those Christmas choccies I'd demolished this week, I decided to soak up the vibrant bustle of Southbank's riverside walkway and visit the annual 'Dazzle jewellery' exhibition.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Launched in 1981, Dazzle is an event </span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">featuring captivating collections of contemporary jewellery
designers</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">. In the past couple of years I'd witnessed it's delicious designs up at the National Theatre, but this year (to my surprise) it had changed venues...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">I am ashamed to say that I had never been or even noticed the gallery@oxo before (located within the Oxo Tower Wharf) and that was exactly where 'Dazzle' was being hosted, so I was more than eager to step inside...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Upon entering the new space (which had been transformed into a gigantic jewellery box) I was </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">immediately</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> welcomed in by an array of cutting edge designs by
recent graduates (along with well-established names) in the jewellery industry. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The gallery was brightly lit, modern and edgy, but I did miss the more spectacular and dramatic setting of the National Theatre - Oh well...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, despite the change of location, </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the
exhibition was still a real cocktail of experiences and I found myself even influenced by
the most surprising of things (the buildings, banisters - all that was surrounding me in fact)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.45pt;">The first designs I saw were made by tea-lover Claire Lowe. Apparently she has </span>always enjoyed tea so
she questioned the use of it as a material within jewellery. I love that. What a perfect yet unusual combination: tea and jewellery, just the things you’d want to have on a cosy
winter evening.<span class="apple-converted-space"> (</span>I heard there
were complications embedding that warm, crumbly and fruity mince pie into her designs, never mind...better luck next year?)<span class="apple-converted-space"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I moved at a snail's pace about the sparkling space, I slowly began to notice how filled up to the brim the rooms actually were with jewellery. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rosina beech’s designs looked almost flute like. I so wanted to blow into them to see if a sound would belch out. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was somehow right. When asking a lady about Beech's works I found out that they all <span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">involve
some sourcing of functional materials and components (usually found within the architectural
and music industries). In doing so, Beech is able to take them out of their typical environment and create unique and versatile jewellery.</span></span></div>

some of her designs, she incorporates hand dyed nylon harp strings and anodized aluminium - all of which are durable, unusual and of course, dazzling. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; text-align: left;">A favourite of mine (by far in fact) was the works of Emelie Westerlund - a true and new discovery of mine. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her designs are based on the experience we get when
handling her pieces. (Unfortunately I didn’t have time to, regrets, but just
admiring them was good enough for me.) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arghhh e</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">verything
looked so incredibly satisfying and fidget-friendly though!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One can apparently pull, press, or stretch them and </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">for someone
who habitually cannot stay still or ‘chill out’, these objects seemed to have
my name written all over.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Onto something totally different now, was the jewellery of S<span style="line-height: 115%;">arah Lindsay. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her pieces were actually the perfect inspiration for my ‘Transformation project’ that I
have to work on over this Christmas holiday. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The idea is to collect unusual
material (that we cannot necessarily buy) and turn them into something totally
different. Well…Sarah Lindsay’s work certainly does just that. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">By building up layers of laminated</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> acrylic dust, Lindsay is able to cut this innovative material into thin
organic slices resembling a kind of lightweight and vividly colourful agate. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Hmmm....dazzle dust, it has a nice feather-like quality to it...</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: none; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The process itself is one of transformation and originality, turning the remains of plastic </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.45pt; line-height: 115%;">into something delicate and unexpectedly natural in
form. Crazy. The vibrant colour palette was a nice shock too!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A visit to Flow Gallery made me feel like I was Alice re-entering Wonderland. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But this time</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Wonderland was different. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a world which was softer in atmosphere and lighter in it's more muted colour palette. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was peaceful, in all its beautiful oddity. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was a wide range of mystifying objects displayed there. And u</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">pon arrival, my first encounter was with an extremely peculiar-looking teacup of a doorbell. My thoughts were already flying and I hadn't even stepped inside yet! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The unique and evocative experience I got out of simply ringing their doorbell really impressed me and got me questioning a person's ability to interact with their surroundings through their sense of touch. Could this be something I refer back to within my jewellery designs? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I continued to look round, I couldn't help but notice that the front desk itself was being used as a space to display a random and dainty set of tableware. One object in particular caught my eye though. And</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> that object was a</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> spoon, a totally nonfunctional spoon. But it's complex and decorative craftsmanship totally and utterly captivated me. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's neatly cut out layers made it look like a 3D diorama. It was certainly a piece of cutlery fit for a theatre. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Moving on, what I found to be somewhat refreshing and freeing at the start of my visit, that I then found out to be slightly frustrating after, was the fact that there was no information regarding each object. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unless you asked, there was no way of knowing anything. There was no indication of who the artist was, what the object was or even what materials were used. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A true and total mystery. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, not having any knowledge of all these things really made me focus on the object itself more. It also helped me to create and re-invent my own back story for each piece.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For example, when studying these beautiful ceramic plates (who i later found to have been made by the ceramicist Caroline Slotte) I really felt as if there was a story embedded in them that I needed to discover. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having later read up about Slotte's 'Gone fishing' series, I was fascinated by her <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">reworking of second hand ceramic items and her
process of erasure. Using various techniques, Slotte manages to wipe out most
of the original </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">decor</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> leaving only the eerie </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">presence</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> of a minute fishing boat,
now engulfed in a large sea of white.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">They </span></span><span style="background-color: white;">were particularly poignant to witness - where seemingly everything had been forgotten about except the existence of one man and his fishing

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was something very organic about this gallery and its objects (especially this nesty little basket below).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Other works which I found to be of interest were these glass bottle top rings. I loved the way they caught the light in the gallery space. Each one refracted it in a different kind of way. They had an inner luminosity to them which reminded me of glowing halos. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I liked the way they contrasted each-other in their polished or matt finishes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The use of the bottleneck as a piece of jewellery was what really got me though. Thinking of the individual shards of glass that once belonged to a whole was beautifully perplexing (and apparently it's meant to bring good luck!).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Somehow it reminded me of the sea and it's tide-tossed debris. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These rings (made by Brigette Bezold) were simply charming and by noticing the use of glass as a potential material for jewellery making, I started to notice it everywhere.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The fact that the gallery wasn't just displaying jewellery was super inspirational. In fact, I found myself surprisingly more drawn to the other various materials and objects they had there than their small collection of jewellery.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Goldsmiths’
jewellery fair was (shamefully) something I had only recently heard of. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />As it was the second week of their annual showing, I thought it would probably be a wise idea if I went to check it out (especially since it was so highly recommended by my tutor). </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The Goldsmiths' Hall as a setting was simply magical. Walking into the expansive space with high ceilings, ostentatious decor and buffed up bouquets had my eyes darting in all directions. I felt like a child visiting FAO Schwarz for the first time.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On my way back from the cloakroom, I started talking to one of the designers there. His name was Martin Keane. His works were not jewellery specific as such, but I liked the refreshing possibilities his objects had, to be jewellery. His fluid and organic forms that are fabricated into unusual tableware were fascinating. I liked the certain 'edge' and peculiarity</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> he had to his work. For one, his cuffling-like silver beakers were tipped off onto their sides, almost defying all laws of gravity. He was super friendly and so interested in what I was doing within my jewellery studies. He even suggested that a collaboration was in order! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Already I could tell that this place was very much a networking thing. But what was also nice, was that I could really feel a sense of companionship floating around in the room. Not only were designers exposed to a new audience (such as people like me!) but they were also reunited with former, familiar faces. It was so lovely to witness the support and excitement of old clients. You can tell that people look forward to coming back each year. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a good tour of the bottom floor, I decided to walk up the (somewhat intimidating) grand staircase - gosh I felt like royalty in all it's ornateness! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sanni Falkenberg was another friendly designer who didn't mind having a quick chat with me. She was also new to the whole Goldsmith's fair and it was so uplifting to talk to a young girl who was similarly trying to get big in the jewellery world. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was stunned by her chunky statement rings. I felt totally in my element here. One piece in particular left me speechless. It was a black agate stone ring - super in size and shape....Oh just take my money! (Or maybe not...seeing as it was £3,000)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sanni kindly let me try it on and I sneakily took a picture so I could dream of it daily. It was like having a glittering galaxy or a large, lustrous cavity on your finger. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. Whilst admiring her pieces, Sanni talked passionately about her process to me, explaining how she </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">prefers to cut the stone open with no background knowledge of what might become of it. She enjoys the discovery aspect of what might be hiding within the stone and sometimes she is even able to find an amazing feature and treasure inside each one. I really admire her uncontrolled approach here.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Furthermore, I also love how her work fitted in neither the contemporary pigeon hole nor the fine jewellery bunch. It was a milky way of a mystery. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her strikingly black and spiky ‘Ferrero Rocher’ ring made from gold, onyx, glitter and rough diamonds, looked almost good enough to eat (but I didn’t so don’t worry!) </span><br />

<span class="apple-converted-space" style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Sadly, I didn't have the chance to speak to Maud, but I did manage to read up about her in the Goldsmith's catalogue. I found out that her </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 115%;">inspiration comes from apocalyptic landscapes and natural
disasters.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> Her imaginative and explosive mix of colour as well as unpredictable
form certainly reflects this. At one point, I was actually worried that her rings might start erupting, spraying out a confetti of molten lava...</span></span><br />
<span class="apple-converted-space" style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">What particularly stood out for me though, was how Maud wasn't </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">scared to be different. Her works are daring, bold and brilliant. They are playful, yet sophisticated. All I wanted to do was dive into her </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">colorful</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> works of art, and never surface. They were extraordinary. Her work is pure proof that the creation of jewellery is most and truly an art form. </span></span></span><br />

of Ute Decker. It’s funny how I’m attracted to pieces that can be at total
opposite ends of the jewellery spectrum. Where Maud’s rings screamed loudness to
me, Ute Decker's jewellery whispered such a beautiful silence. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Ute Decker once said in an interview that her
works are not literal re-interpretations of actual buildings but rather major
pieces of “jewellery that can be inhabited". I love this thought. It reminded me of some friends of mine who incessantly nest in the same piece of jewellery all year round. They are like little hibernating jewellery squirrels. </span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As part of my ‘exhibition project’ and what I like to
call my ‘gap filler Fridays’, I went to visit the gorgeous and inspiring Lesley
Craze Gallery just off Clerkenwell road in Farringdon. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18pt;">As soon as I entered the gallery which was cheekily</span><span style="line-height: 18pt;"> tucked away in a blanket of cagey scaffolding, I
was suddenly soaked up in a large cabinet of curiosities.</span><span style="line-height: 18pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Looking around, I was surrounded by a unique collection of the latest contemporary jewellery, metalwork, and silversmithing.

<span class="apple-converted-space" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first thing that caught my eye was the works of Jeremy May. I loved how he used jewellery to memorialize the beauty of words. His unique laminating process of paper was also captivating, but the re-inserting of his jewellery works into their excavated space is what really got me. Using the originating book as display and storage is just pure genius!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I
entered the first room, I was immediately engulfed by a huge maze of black space. It felt like I was
about to descend into the deep dark depths of the ocean. Oh – how appropriate! </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 15.75pt;">The
scent of wealth hung in the air like a pendant of gold and (like a child) I could barely focus
on the huge cloud of cabinets set out before me. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 15.75pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="ecxmsonormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.75pt; margin-bottom: 16.2pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sliding past the opening painting which kindly greeted me at the doors, I couldn't help but dart straight over towards the first collection of magically glowing orbs.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I stared at them (for probably a very inappropriate amount of time) I couldn't help but overhear a couple of charming, couture-clad ladies (who were sporting their own little iridescent gobstoppers by the way)</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> gasping and gossiping directly in front of me.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They seemed to be in awe of something and I was eager to find out what all the commotion was about. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to walk over in all my wonder and curiosity. I began to scan over what the two women had just read on the huge mounted wall of writing and suddenly, it hit me.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A huge secret had just been revealed to them...and now to me too.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ever since I was little, I had always been told that a pearl was formed by a small grain of sand that had entered the oyster's shell - oh how wrong my sources were...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After believing this so-called 'myth' for the past twenty years of my life, I can now say that I know the full truth behind how these little sea treasures are formed...and ironically, it is not so glamorous. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It turns out that our precious pearly whites are actually formed by parasites. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Really?! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I glanced back over at what I thought to be the most dazzling and jaw-dropping collection of them all, only to realize </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">that now, I was in fact looking into a dark park of dead parasite cocoons. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But, this was actually a truly amazing revelation. It made me realize that among all the gems that mankind hungers for, the pearl is absolutely unique. It is the only gemstone that forms entirely within a living being. They really are the oddest but most interesting of things. Nature constantly amazes me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A favorite of mine at the exhibition had to be the pearl necklace belonging to Marilyn Monroe which was said to have 'reminded her of happier times'. I also liked </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">the modest pearl earring worn by King Charles I at his execution - </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15.75pt;">I loved how such an
intimate object was worn at such a controversial event in history. </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">Another piece that caught my eye was the great 'pearl of Asia' - one of the largest natural pearls in the world (about the size of a walnut). Truly breathtaking.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In addition to this, I was also impressed and taken aback by the large buckets filled with countless amounts of soapy-colored pearls. A really amazing piece, symbolizing the dangers that the pearl market might face in the future of over-production. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Upon leaving the exhibition, I had one last thought about pearls within my discipline area, jewellery. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">And the V&A has ultimately taught me that pearls within jewellery have no limits. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nicola Malkin's incredible giant pearl stud earrings and double stranded giant pearl necklace that we are confronted with at the finale of the exhibition certainly confirms this. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She is pure </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">proof that pearls continue to inspire jewelers in exciting new ways and judging by</span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> the size and scale of this exhibition, that is more than likely to continue. </span></span></div>
