The optical effects of dense linear patterns, layered and in varying orientations, are explored in this necklace by Glasgow jeweller Lynne MacLachlan. Her ‘Phase’ jewellery uses a combination of digital technology and traditional hand-crafting: the form and texture are achieved by 3D printing; while hand-dying both in a block colour and as dip-dying creates the gradations within her vivid colour schemes.

It is hollow, with a dense structure of radiating spokes on each side which rise to a concentric ridge then drop to the outside edge. The colour fades from pink to purple on one side; from turquoise to blue on the other. Within, and following the mid-line of the ridges, is a curved section of slatted yellow nylon which supports a further interior slatted element of metal. The end sections are turquoise and blue; the knotted cord is also blue. |
