Hope Ruby

I was born in Cornwall and have grown up in a creative and bohemian environment, near the sea and the vast horizon, the specialness of this place having a profound effect on the way I view the world. My jewellery designs reflect the wild and untamed beauty of this peninsula. One of my material sources is ‘the beach’. I regularly forage and collect found natural objects from the beaches of North Cornwall, attaching these unrefined treasures to necklaces, bangles and earrings as charms and talismans. My design process is forever evolving, no two pieces ever the same, dependant on instinct and intuition combined with more formal cutting, soldering and joining methods of silver smithing. I am more than happy to undertake commissions and am at present working toward a ‘Prima Donna’ statement range in collaboration with an established 3D designer, due to be launched for Winter season 09.

Her pieces are all hand made one offs in silver with precious, semi-precious and hand crafted beads. There are many more besides what you can see here. Please contact us for more info and we will happily email more pictures
