I am a designer/maker based in South London. I am inspired by the often overlooked textures in the world around us, I then transform these observations into elegant pieces of jewellery. I have a curious approach to design and I like to explore different materials and processes.

Torn Bangle - Sterling Silver :
A simple silver bangle that is designed to take on the aesthetic of a torn piece of paper. When experimenting with the material, Laura became fascinated with the moment it transitioned from being a 2D sheet into a 3D object. Focusing on the natural tendency it has to curl when torn.
Laura then translated this into sheet silver, which shares the same thickness of paper, yet its strength allows the curve to remain in place.
One edge of this bangle is straight and the other is etched, reminiscent of the torn edge of a piece of paper. At each side there is a slight twist to give the bangle a subtle asymmetric quality.Materials: Sterling silver 925 or 23.7ct hard gold plated sterling silver

When worn, these cufflinks appear horizontal from one side of the shirt and vertical on the other.
