Contemporary jewellery needs to be tempered with good design, fine workmanship and an understanding of the need for a piece to be both beautiful and wearable. I believe that jewellery is a language. Yes, it can and should, be something beautiful in it's own right, but each piece also tells a story about it's owner and it is contemporary jewellery that has by far the largest vocabulary.

Custom made EarWing by Philip Thornton.
This fish earring had special meaning
to the client, who sat through endless fittings to get the shape
“just right”. Hand Made in Sterling silver, this earring is much
more “Art” than “Jewellery.” The earring is held upward
against the ear by means of a sprung “slide”, almost the whole
length of the earring. This allows it to be worn through the single
piercing available.
