A minimal necklace with a small pendant full of organic texture. Hand crafted using solid sterling silver combining a textured organic surface with a satin brushed finish.

The front face has a strong organic tactile quality with a contrasting smooth satin finish on all of the other sides, creating an interesting side profile. Taking direct reference from the deeper relief patterns found in root vegetables, this pieces unites natural and clean geometric lines. This pendant is on a shorter chain, allowing it to be layered with the Bar Necklace-White or Carse Tube Necklace.

A simple pair of silver earrings that are 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.

One edge of these earrings is straight and the other is etched, reminiscent of the torn edge of a piece of paper. As the earrings narrow at the end of the curl, this twists slightly to give the earrings a subtle asymmetric quality when viewed from the front. Each pair of Torn Earrings are are completely handmade, therefore your pair may differ slightly from the images shown.

A simply elegant band 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 wanted to translate that moment into sheet silver, which shares the same thickness as paper yet has extra strength – allowing the curve to remain in place. The torn edge on each piece is hand drawn and etched, contrasting with the straight edge – each Torn band is unique.

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.

A subtle and simple etched necklace.
A delicately etched surface that creates a negative pattern on a brushed sterling silver tube threaded on a snake chain.

From the same technique used for the earrings, the tube on this necklace sits horizontally, yet it is also free to move with the wearer, similarly to the tide. Each pattern is drawn onto the tube by hand, and is then etched. Making each piece completely unique.

An engagement ring with a focus on geometry, construction and deconstruction. This ring looks different when viewed from every angle, giving it a very sculptural quality. In contrast to the asymmetric feel of this ring, it is united in the middle with a diamond. The different shapes within the design pick up on the clients interest in bold graphic aesthetics. This piece is also inspired by the manipulation of 2D materials becoming 3D forms, which is inspired by the clients profession of shoemaking.
