Stellar blue necklace – Lapis Lazuli

Inspiration and Techniques

Philippa’s work is predominantly created using traditional metal forming techniques. She loves the process of working something in front of her eyes from its basic state to something that is aesthetically pleasing. Enjoying using simple geometric shapes in her work which has led her to create a range of pieces with circular discs of stones – the Stellar collection. Sometimes Philippa combines this with rawer elements or nuggets of gold for the contrast with the sleek and smooth stones. She likes paired back designs so that the different elements and the metal speaks for itself. Through this she also believes her work will please the wearer for longer as it will endure changes in trends and continue to be relevant.
