Inspiration for Kate’s designs comes from natural structures and elements. Plant life, mosses, fungi and cell structures have all been used to explore themes of repetition, movement and layering. Pieces are made in silver, 14ct and 18ct gold and may incorporate gemstones. The jewellery is all designed and produced, by hand, as limited edition or one off items.
Kate likes to work straight with the materials, intuitively, allowing an element of chance to take over. Precious metal is hammered, heated and rolled with heavy papers to create texture and overlaid with delicate moving discs or paired up with gemstones and beads to lift and compliment the designs. Fine wire is also used to create long delicate wrap-over chains and earrings with free moving elements and sculptural shapes, which react with the wearer.
Collections of work include bracelets, rings, drop and stud earrings, wrap-over necklaces, pendants and brooches.
Kate now produces work for a growing client base. Limited edition collections are shown in selected galleries throughout the UK and Ireland. She also takes on private commissions allowing the customer to own something uniquely personal.
