WILD BOTANY

Born from a journey through endangered habitats across the UK, Alex spent last Spring sketching wildflowers, grasses, and trees in meadows and woodlands. Back in the studio, these studies blossomed into jewellery. Alongside our talented Design Team, Alex translated quaking grasses, delicate florals, pine needles, and ancient bark textures into intricate, wearable pieces—each one a celebration of the patience and care behind traditional craftsmanship.

DESIGN DIARY

Our silver Plantain Leaf features beautifully raised stems on the front and fine linear veining on the back, capturing the quiet elegance of the natural leaf. Their distinctive anticlastic form — where the metal curves in opposite directions, like a saddle — mimics the gentle curl and drape of a real plantain leaf, giving the earrings a sculptural quality that moves gracefully with the wearer.

Creating this sense of effortless flow was anything but simple. The earrings curve in multiple directions, a true technical challenge that highlights the skill and precision behind their making. Designed to engage from every angle, they don’t just look beautiful on the wearer, they captivate anyone who sees them in motion. A striking choice for those who appreciate nature-inspired jewellery crafted with a modern, artistic touch.

In studying quaking grasses, the focus was on capturing the delicate movement that gives the plant its name. Known for their gentle, trembling motion in the breeze, these grasses inspired a design that echoes that same natural rhythm. The result is a multi-seed bracelet, where each seed element mimics the quivering movement of the grass as the wearer moves throughout the day.

CHALK GRASSLANDS

The starting point for the collection came when Alex embarked on a project researching and visiting endangered natural habitats in the UK throughout the Spring of 2024. After a number of trips to his chosen locations, Alex studied the plants, flowers and leaves unique to each habitat in great detail, through quick sketches and detailed drawings.

Chalk grasslands are unique, species-rich habitats found on calcareous (chalky) soils, primarily in the south and east of England. These grasslands are characterised by a variety of wildflowers, herbs, and grasses that thrive in the thin, alkaline soils found on chalk hills and cliffs. They are a vital part of the UK's natural heritage but are increasingly under threat.
