Guen designs and makes
distinctive contemporary jewellery, from her Cotswold studio that is
entirely produced by hand using traditional techniques.
Inspired by the beauty of the materials she works with, she strives
to design affordable pieces of jewellery that have a close
relationship with the wearer enjoying the restrictions and
challenges that this imposes.
She uses 18ct gold, silver with 18ct gold and also platinum.
Gemstones range from diamonds to subtly coloured rainbow moonstones
and tourmalines, set in earrings, rings and necklaces that sometimes
include beads and cultured freshwater pearls.
The making process usually starts with gold or silver sheet, which
is then cut out and constructed as the design dictates. In much of
the work, surface decoration is applied with a steel punch creating
a delicate and intricate texture. Each unique piece is invested with
care and precision.
Guen’s jewellery is sold direct from her workshop, by appointment
and also from a number of galleries. She also works to commission
creating pieces for both men and women for weddings, anniversaries
and other special occasions. |
