Gorgeous textures and shapes |
Eynsham jeweller Joanna Ripley has been working on her new collection for winter 2012.
She says: "It is a
new and exciting direction for me, as silver and gold chains form the
main element. Both metals have a hammered, textured finished and vary
in shape in size. Using the chain links as a starting point, I have
adorned them with semi-precious gemstones, freshwater pearls and
crystals."

The results are rich, detailed and opulent necklaces that can
be worn during the day or evening to enhance any outfit.
"It has been a joy to work with different gemstones,
pearls and crystals. There are so many colours and textures
to choose from, and their organic nature ensures that each necklace is a
one-off and truly individual. I have made earrings that match each
necklace, as I'm personally a big fan of co-ordinating accessories!"
