Kathleen Appleyard | Jewellery | Devon
Kath Appleyard’s jewellery celebrates the pure forms and clean lines found in nature. Curved Euphorbia leaves, rolling waves, small pebbles and the simple single leaf inform her recent collection. Handmade links are connected by rings, allowing a soft, fluid movement as connected elements link, circle and drape on the neckline or wrist. She enjoys the tension between form, function and the practical and aesthetic considerations of fit, comfort, movement and tactile awareness of jewellery on the body. She endeavours to produce, elegant designs to enhance, act as ‘touch stones’ and promote a sense of wellbeing. Designs begins with drawing, evolving or radically changing during the making process.
Working with responsibly sourced materials, argentium silver, recycled sterling silver, and recycled gold is an important ethical and environmental issue.
Commissions are welcomed.
