ABOUT

 

 

 

She graduated from Birmingham City University, School of Jewellery( ND, HND AND DFI course).She has good bench skills in jewellery and silversmithing, also, expanding knowledge and skills of stone setting through evening classes. On the other hand, She has advanced working knowledge of 2D and 3D design packages including Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft office and Matrix. Not only has she used CAD software to create her designs in university projects, but also,she was one of the top students in my class, and won the Weston Beamor Design Competition. It was her first time to touch Matrix software, which that proved her ability of quick learning, acquiring new skills and using knowledge to improve existing processes. 

 

Her jewellery' s inspiration came from nature elements, which exist around of us. Though them she wants to express some felling about relationship, life and dream. For the beginning she focus on a variety of traditional techniques, Lines and surface texture were combined her main form. But now she prefers to deliberately combine both traditional and contemporary techniques. On the other hand, various colours are soul in her jewellery, her pieces are often bold, and she uses different metals and other materials to create contrasting effects of colour and texture.

They are designed with an awareness of positive and negative spaces created through construction and contrast. Rich yellows or bright silver and oxidization, are a strong and stunning statement with colourful stones. It is a strong contrast can be easily eye-catching in the moment, meaning a hope, a pretty worm emotion in our life, attracting us to follow it, and we will enjoy and gratefully live, would not lost our way.

Design and making jewellery is her passion, one of her greatest pleasure is to watch the reaction to her work.
