‘Africa Rich’ jewellery collection
I have been wanting to create a range of jewellery that leans more to commercial, that is simple, fun and quirky! Over the last month or so, I have been scribbling and doodling some designs down and finally got to start some manufacture over the last 2 weeks. With a possible move to another continent on the cards for me, my inspiration for this range is simple – AFRICA!
Blackened Silver Earrings
I think it’s essential the collection keeps things uncomplicated and practical and still able to function as strikingly bold objects. I hope to have a lot of fun with this project, exploring new materials and the variations in aesthetic they each bring.
Some of these new materials include various different types of wood as well as old animal teeth and bone. Expect to see more ‘Africa Rich’ soon…

Updated and I have added some more photos of the collection, with this two neck pieces, I have incorporated wood with silver. Also adding white glass beads for a great contrast.
