London jeweller Sian Evans makes both fine and fashion jewellery using a mixture of traditional and modern techniques.
Her ‘Androecium’ earrings are of aluminium which is cut by water jet, anodised to give a lustrous surface ‘reminiscent of petals’ in a wide range of colours, then finished traditionally and assembled with rhodium-plated brass and silver parts. They are from her recent Botany collection, inspired by 19th-century botanical drawings and modernist mobiles, which was launched at Paris Fashion Week 2017 and which won the bronze award for fashion led conceptual jewellery in the design section (3D) of the 2019 Goldsmiths’ Craftsmanship & Design Awards.
