Collaboration | Friendship Charm Bracelet

If you have visited us at Cockpit Arts, you may be familiar with the 5 lovely jewellers I share a studio with: Laura Ngyou, Jenny Llewellyn, Sara Gunn, Anna Wales and Frances Wadsworth Jones. During lockdown we have missed working alongside each other very much.

For the Cockpit Festival we decided to each create an individual charm, to form a complete charm bracelet with 6 charms, as a symbol of togetherness and frienship despite our physical distance.

Here is a short video showing all 6 charms:

We each recorded where we are at, our inspiration and making process on film.

Splendid first-time video editing by Jenny Llewellyn who put together our charm bracelet film.

Separate, but together

This is the concept for my sterling silver charm, made up of two individual parts. Each has their own character, but together they form a complete circle. The design is a continuation of my Sunray collection.
