Becky has been making her Illustrative jewellery since graduating from the University of Brighton in 1999. Her unique jewellery can be worn, but many pieces can also be displayed as miniature pieces of art.
Largely inspired by the great outdoors and the wonder of being in it, elements of narrative are transformed from pencil sketches into silver scenes telling out across the surface of a brooch or hanging as a pendant. They are individually hand cut in sterling silver, and textured by embossing with paper cuts, stamping and hammering. Components are layered together, soldered and finished with matt, oxidised and polished surfaces, to add depth and tone. Finally the addition of gold leaf in certain ranges brings colour and highlights details.
