Welcome

Hi, I'm Laura, a jewellery historian and artist passionate about uncovering the stories hidden within precious metals and gemstones. My work bridges the gap between academic research and artistic creation, exploring how jewelry has shaped and reflected human society throughout history.

Academic Approach

As a jewellery historian, I delve into the fascinating role that adornments have played in cultures across time and space. From ancient civilizations to modern societies, jewellery has been a constant companion to humanity, silently witnessing and participating in our most significant moments. My research focuses on decoding the social structures, beliefs, and personal narratives embedded in these miniature works of art.

Artistic Creation

Inspired by the timeless beauty of nature and the rich history of jewellery-making, I create my own pieces using silver metal clay. This versatile medium allows me to blend traditional techniques with contemporary designs, resulting in unique pieces that carry their own stories.

My Mission

Through this website, I aim to share the captivating world of jewellery with you. By combining rigorous academic research with personal stories and artistic exploration, I hope to illuminate the often-overlooked significance of jewellery in our collective history and personal lives.

Here, you'll find

• Academic research exploring various aspects of jewellery history
• Blog posts exploring various aspects of jewellery stories
• Galleries showcasing my own nature-inspired silver metal clay jewellery

I invite you to explore, learn, and perhaps discover a new appreciation for the small treasures we wear. Whether you're a fellow historian, an aspiring artist, or simply curious about the stories jewellery can tell, I hope you'll find something here to inspire and enlighten you.
