Cubic Cascade Brooch,

Stainless Steel

Using a Laser Welder, a very modern piece of technology, allowed me to fuse very fine wires without heat, making each piece strong, no matter how fine.

I have created an exciting series 'Cubic Cascade' which will be part of the upcoming exhibition 'InForm' at Collins Barracks NMI Decorative Arts & History Museum in March 2021.

Made during my time on the DCCI Kilkenny Skills Course, this box was designed to house my 18ct yellow gold Citrine ring.

Both ring and box were inspired by the 1910's, the beautiful folds ad pleats seen in the clothing of the time, and the colour palates of the Cubist Painters of the day.

Making this piece gave me a true appreciation for the work of Silversmiths.

I am always open to bespoke commissions. With an overall idea of what you might like, and your budget, I can draw up a couple of design options, and we can go from there.

The client had her own diamonds which she wanted to have set into Rose gold in the form of a couple of rings and some earrings. And was more than happy with the results.
