A Contemporary Exploration Into Ancient Jewelllery
Captivating hordes of gold jewellery found in museums influence the forms and materials in Cameron & Breen’s curious jewellery collections. Recycled precious metals are cast from wax that has been carved and manipulated by hand, an ancient technique used for over 6000 years. Ancient stone carvings adorned with rhythmical pattern and curious figures inspire the unique hand engraved motifs, proudly displaying the beautiful marks of traditional handmade design.
Mottled green, vibrant blue and soft pink sapphires, earthy emeralds, fiery garnets and vivid tourmalines come together in heavy beaten gold.
Zesty cabochons set over engraved scenes are used as a ‘looking glass’ into the jewellery. When worn the view inside blinks in and out of view enhancing the curiosity of each piece.
A combination of Laura’s self-taught wax carving skills and Martin’s professional stone setting talents, leads each piece of jewellery to pass through each of their hands several times before it is finished, creating an intriguing and beguiling collection of jewellery, which holds a unique amalgamation of contemporary ideas and traditional skills to adorn the body.
