Let's talk about...Jewellery

As you must be aware I was awarded support for young jewellers from William Dudley Trust. I've been checking recently the Internet and stumbled on my information on William Dudley Trust website. If you are interested then, check it out!

This final instalment of Inspiring September Friday comes slightly later than usual - after writing a post I completely forgot to publish it and went on to do other things. But no worries it's here now and it will feature someone very special, who I discovered very recently, and completely by accident - Alessio Boschi.



Due to competition I’m recently thinking of entering, I’ve been looking at different opal jewellery, and one of Boschi’s designs (Plumes) caught my eye.



Although born in Italy, he works in Bangkok, Thailand. His brand founded in 2011 uses different gems, such as black opals, pearls, jade in unbelievable jewellery creations. Taking inspiration from the world of nature and architecture his works are marvels. Some of them are multifunctional – like Plumes, Cathedral rings and Orchidee Royale, something that I genuinely admire – designing and making a multifunctional set, takes a lot of thought and consideration, more than just ensuring it will be possible for production and will look pretty. His use of colours and gems is astounding – don’t believe me? Just scroll down the page to find Volcano set, and look at that close up of ring. Isn’t it just beautiful?
