Dianne King - Sea Serpent's Pearl
Dianne King is an award-winning Scottish jewellery designer-maker based in Fife. Originally a sculptor and art historian, she lectured at Edinburgh College of Art for 25 years before retraining as a jeweller. She exhibits regularly in UK galleries and currently has a solo show in Sweden. Each piece of jewellery is a one-off, hand-made with natural materials. No two pieces are the same. “For me, jewellery must be a personal statement, not just decoration. The feel of each piece and the meaning behind it are as important as the visual impact.”Sarah Spalding
Sarah graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art earlier this year and has already won the Goldsmiths Precious Metals Bursary Award and the Victoria and Albert Museum Jewellery Design Competition. Her designs are influenced by patterns and structures found in and around cities worldwide, reflecting architectural aesthetics through the use of straight lines, geometric shapes and grid. These concepts have been developed to create sculptural yet wearable jewellery.
