Maker's statement

This was the second piece of jewellery I had ever made using silver and resin. It was the first time I poured different colours so that they merged together. I made it at home while I was in my 3rd year at college. It is one of the key pieces to all my subsequent work in silver and resin. I made two commissioned bracelets in imitation of the original, one of which is illustrated in colour on the cover of Ralph Turner's Book 'Contemporary Jewellery' (Studio Vista 1976).
