Tanis
This collection is an inquiry into sustainability and carbon footprint. During lockdown I did a bit of research into native British gemstones and minerals and found .. delightfully, that there is a rich heritage of agate hunting in the UK. Hunting rather than mining, these gems are found on beaches, in streams and abandoned quarries. For Tanis, I carve British agates into elements inspired by bronze age jewels for rings, earrings and necklaces and additionally use recycled gold.
