Well, I am glad to be starting this new year with a positive attitude to my exciting new jewellery adventures.
I have just got myself a new studio space at the Cambridge Art Salon.
I will be using this space to reinvigorate my contemporary jewellery spirit, that has taken a back seat over the last year.
I will also be travelling to Australia, meeting up with some lovely contemporary jewellers I met at Schmuck over the years, and going to as many galleries along the way as my savings will take me!
I want to start this years blog with some work of jewellers that I greatly respect, looking at their work invigorates me to keep going with my jewellery making dreams.

Hedda Bjerkeli
I really enjoy Hedda's neckpieces, I couldn't find the exact materials for each one. However, I know that they are a combination of resin, gemstones and silver. The stunning brooch below looks to be composed of copper, enamel, steel and thread.

All of the pieces by these talented contemporary jewellers are so eye-catching.
I think they become more interesting because the components are juxtaposed, which make me curious as to how they would feel, while also creating visual impact.
