Laura Nelson

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
Dimensions: Thickest part of bangle is 15mm and the diameter is 65mm (adjustable)
Weight: 19.5g

A subtle and simple statement necklace.
Made in the UK, this crafted minimal block of recycled plastic is seamlessly suspended on a sterling silver chain.

The surface is smooth to touch with an array of different visual textures along with gently hand rounded edges. This understated piece has visual similarities to marble but without the weight, making it suitable for everyday wear.
This recycled plastic block is made from discarded containers, such as yoghurt pots, therefore some necklaces may feature hints of different colours such as silver, green, red or black within the block.
Due to the nature of this necklace, each one truly is one of a kind.

Solid sterling silver cufflinks, with an etched organic pattern.
A delicately etched surface that creates a negative pattern on a brushed sterling silver surface.
—
On a trip to Carse Bay in Scotland, Laura made drawings from the patterns left in the sand when the tide went out. These patterns focus on negative space and create a subtle textured surface when combined with brushed silver. When worn, these cufflinks appear horizontal from one side of the shirt and vertical on the other.
Each pattern is drawn onto each cufflink by hand before etching. Making each cufflink completely unique.
