New Collection Launch - 'Hedgerow'

My new Jewellery Collection 'Hedgerow' will launch as part of 'Shine 2023' at The Goldsmith's Centre, Farringdon, London on September 20th 2023.

It is inspired by a walk that I frequently take up the hill behind my Scottish highland home. The incline is steep, and it forces me to walk slowly, taking in the tiny details around me that I would otherwise miss. The blackthorn hedges are full of wildflowers and I’m drawn to their ability to thrive and bring beauty to the inhospitable conditions. The bubbling background texture of my pieces takes inspiration from the frothy, lacey flowers of cow parsley which dance in the wind. Each design, and the colour palate of the gemstones I choose, celebrate favourite plants of mine – the sloe, wild rose and bramble – prickly, yet with beautiful flowers and tasty fruit if you pay the price of the occasional scratch.

All of my pieces are handcrafted in recycled gold with ethically sourced (and often vintage' gemstones. Each item is handmade to order and no two will ever be identical.

I would love to see you there in person to introduce you to my work.

With Best Wishes,
Catherine.
