Sun, Sea & Sand @ Salts

Grab your bucket and spade and head to Salts Mill to join the six super talented jewellers holidaying with us throughout the sunny season. They are bringing a sparkle to our special showcase of hand crafted collections that capture the irresistible sensations of summer!

Shimmering in the sunshine will be Anthony Blakeney’s precious rings scattered with sparkling diamonds and colourful gemstones. His delightful golden ‘sun kissed’ faces hand engraved onto his silver ‘Rose Root’ rings will definitely put a smile on your face, as well as your finger!

The discovery of shoreline treasures from the beautiful Solway coast make up Antonella Giomarelli’s current collection. Preserving the delicate details of washed up shells and fossils through the process of casting means you can take away a piece of the beach to wear everyday.
 
Like salt crystals sprinkled across her striking silver jewellery, Francesca Marcenaro’s unique process of glass granulation combined with precious pearls evokes the essence of the ocean.

Inspired by the rugged cliffs of Cornwall, it’s golden beaches and the sparkle of the sea, Justin Duance casts precious recycled metal in beach sand giving each of his rings an individual organic texture often then set with glistening diamonds as if suspended between the cliff edges.

The fluid movement of Becca Macdonald’s hand-painted silver brushstroke brooches and earrings express the motion of crashing waves. In a quest to capture the ephemeral, her unique paint pot pieces are like rock pools of liquid silver.
 
And finally Knot forgetting Beth Pegler’s nautical knot necklaces in a colourful seaside palette - striking statement pieces yet super casual comfortable holiday wear!

Relax and Enjoy….

 

The six super talented jewellers spending the Summer with us are: Anthony Blakeney; Antonella Giomarelli; Francesca Marcenaro; Justin Duance; Becca Macdonald and Beth Pegler. There will also be a separate seaside/nautically themed display by a wide range of international jewellers that we regularly show at the gallery. So lots to see at the Saltaire Seaside!
