Our last maker feature before Dazzle Invites ends today Sunday 9 January. Lucy Martin creates modern handcrafted jewellery that is characterised by graphic forms in which carefully balanced sequences of colour and texture are suspended. Her passion for unusual gemstones is always the starting point for her jewellery designs. Despite using simple tools and ancient techniques Lucy creates a very sleek look by concealing connections and fixings wherever possible, keeping the focus on the gemstones and their unique natural qualities. Designed and made in her London studio. @deptfordlucy is showing an exclusive range of jewellery as part of the second edition of our virtual Dazzle exhibition – Dazzle Invites. All pieces are available until this Sunday 9 January. . . . #dazzle #dazzleinvites #dazzlejewellery #virtualdazzle #contemporaryjewellery #gemstonejewellery #lucymartin

Rachel Larkins works from a studio in a village near the New Forest. Following an early training in Textile Art, she graduated with an MA in Sequential Design/ Illustration from the University of Brighton in 2013. She has exhibited regularly in the UK and abroad, creating and selling work to private and public collections for more than twenty years. Rachel says of her work “I have always been drawn to objects behind glass, perhaps in recognition that someone from the past has preserved those things considered precious and ephemeral; mourning jewellery holding hair; bell jars holding birds, insects or dolls; dioramas and ships in bottles. The wearable pieces I make are influenced by the intimacy and hidden stories of small scale miniatures as well as by folklore and fairy tales.” @rachelalarkins is showing an exclusive range of jewellery as part of the second edition of our virtual Dazzle exhibition – Dazzle Invites. All pieces are only available for a few more hours - exhibition ends today Sunday 9 January. . . #dazzle #dazzleinvites #dazzlejewellery #contemporayjewellery #automita #rachellarkins

Emily Kidson is a contemporary jeweller whose layered, intuitively designed pieces marry bold materials with traditional craftsmanship. Silver, gold, wood and hand-painted details feature in her work alongside the colourful laminate she has become known for. Following an applied arts degree in Wood, Metal, Ceramics and Plastics at the University of Brighton, Emily spent a year at the prestigious Bishopsland Educational Trust developing her metalworking skills. Emily’s studio is at Cockpit Arts in London, where she makes every shape and component by hand. Emily is drawn to areas of fine detail, pattern, repetition and mark-making, but likes to balance this with clear uncluttered space. Old industrial cities and canalsides are particular influences, from tapered chimneys to barges and water towers. Sensitive use of colour and her eye for detail informs the minimal, subtly layered aesthetic of her work. @emilykidson is showing an exclusive range of jewellery as part of the second edition of our virtual Dazzle exhibition – Dazzle Invites. All pieces are available to purchase via link in bio and there’s only a few hours left - last day today Sunday 9 January. . . . #dazzle #dazzleinvites #dazzlejewellery #virtualdazzle #laminatejewellery #woodjewellery #colourfuljewellery #emilykidson

Sarah Lindsay’s collection is influenced by Bakelite jewellery for it’s subtle colours and the way it mimics natural materials. Mid-century textile print has also been a source of inspiration for the colours and graphic motifs. Sarah wanted to contrast the natural look of her Dust slices by using pattern in these designs, such as by cutting out areas of the slices and imprinting the surfaces with linear textures. The regularity of the form of chain provides a contrast to the raw Dust edges. This is a special collection for Dazzle Invites as the pieces are one-offs made from Dust elements from previous years of experiments. Since relocating from London to Harrogate she is no longer heat-pressing new Dust slices and is developing new work. Sarah developed the Dust collection after graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2002 where she explored the use of different plastics for jewellery. Her innovative process involved making acrylic particles which were then heat pressed in layers over time. This way of making allowed her to mix her own colours and also to make speckled, multi-coloured surfaces. The resultant slices were solid in the middle and porous on the edges which she then crumbled away into lightweight yet strong slices. @sarahlindsayuk is showing an exclusive range of jewellery as part of the second edition of our virtual Dazzle exhibition – Dazzle Invites. . . . #dazzle #dazzleinvites #dazzlejewellery #virtualdazzle #contemporaryjewellery #colourfuljewellery #buyhandmade

For nearly forty years, this family-run business has been making jewellery known for its craftsmanship and storytelling. Citing influences from comic art, literature, music and nature, Nick Hubbard’s work has become widely known and loved for its fine figurative detail, hand engraving and mechanised parts. After graduating from Birmingham School of Jewellery in 1978, husband and wife team, Nick (the Brick) and Jean (the Bean) established their business from a small workshop in Birmingham's historic Jewellery Quarter. Nick's jewellery has since become highly collectible and can be easily identified as the original article by a small engraving of a 'brick and bean' on each piece. Since losing Nick in 2013, the ‘Brick and Bean’ team has been dedicated to preserving and continuing his sparkling creative legacy. After leaving a career in publishing and historical research, Nick’s daughter Philippa now manages Nick Hubbard Jewellery with mum, Jean.

“For my means of expression, I feel more comfortable when the work has a quality of ambiguity or transience. I’m interested in containing, covering, or wrapping things. The search has been for something elusive”. Yoko Izawa, based in Japan, has created a series of veiled jewellery pieces. As objects become obscured by being covered, our perception such as social preoccupation or monetary value for the object also becomes uncertain. On the other hand, essential elements that the object naturally possesses; form, texture, colour, weight, and tension become aspects to appreciate. In Yoko’s work, those fundamental elements of both inside and outside materials visually mix in one’s eyes and create a harmonious form. The structure allows her jewellery to have an ambiguous quality in which one can perceive opposing features simultaneously: inside and outside, rigid and flexible, as well as hidden and visible.

Daphne Krinos established her studio practice after leaving Middlesex University in 1980. Metal is her language and she loves using oxidised or coated silver, and recycled gold. Colour is important in her practice and she often uses translucent stones in her work. She is inspired by cities, architecture and art. She enjoys photographing buildings, construction and demolition sites. The photographs by Bernd and Hilla Becher, as well as sculptures by Donald Judd, and numerous modernist painters are an inspiration. Having grown up in Greece she attributes her love of making to her grandfather who was a poet, always surrounded by creative and inspiring people. Spending time with him, made her learn to appreciate materials, colours, and shapes. She was able to put all these early influences into practice after completing her design training. @daphnekrinos is showing an exclusive range of jewellery as part of the second edition of our virtual Dazzle exhibition – Dazzle Invites. . . . #dazzle #dazzlejewellery #dazleinvites #virtualdazzle #daphnekrinos #contemporaryjewellery

In a studio overlooking the Fal Estuary in Cornwall, Stephanie Johnson creates a unique and distinctive range of handmade jewellery in silver and gold.

With a background in sculpture, award-winning artist Emmeline Hastings demonstrates a unique approach to jewellery. Since 2009 she has contributed to major UK and international exhibitions to great acclaim, her work resides in many personal and museum collections. Emmeline combines unexpected and contrasting materials in her Bristol studio. Using her signature techniques of hand carving acrylic and embedding it with metallic elements she creates striking, beautiful and contemporary wearable sculpture. Her pieces are light and wearable with mysterious patterns of gold and silver seemingly organic to the form. They capture fleeting moments; something glimpsed. Crystalline forms, surfaces dotted or bristling with glittering metallic elements that shift and change in colour. @emmeline_hastings is showing an exclusive range of jewellery as part of the second edition of our virtual Dazzle exhibition – Dazzle Invites. All pieces are available to purchase until this Sunday 9 January. . . . #dazzle #sazzleinvites #dazzlejewellery #contemporaryjewellery #sculpturaljewellery #acrylicjewellery #virtualdazzle

Inspired by geology, ancient history and our changing landscapes, Rhona McCallum creates statement collections of contemporary jewellery in recycled silver and gold that combine rugged, natural textures with bold, sculptural forms. Forged and carved lines run through the pieces, accentuated by flashes of gold, referencing geological fractures and lines and layers in stone. @rhonamccallum is showing an exclusive range of jewellery as part of the second edition of our virtual Dazzle exhibition – Dazzle Invites.
