Driftwood and Nostalgia - Anne Morgan Contemporary Jewellery

I don't plan to ramble tonight (phew I hear you cry) but I just had to share the results of my afternoon playing with pretty things and I mean SERIOUSLY PRETTY! Actually pretty is the wrong word... beautiful, spectacular, sculptural, tactile - that's better.

You see, I have a friend called Anne Morgan who is super talented. She is a jewellery maker who I know best for her skilled work as a silversmith. Imagine my surprise and delight to be faced with a batch of the most eclectic and unique jewellery I have ever seen with not a great deal of silver in sight. To me this collection is all about treasure. Remember finding a little stone on the beach as a child and making it into a necklace or those wonderful bits of polished glass that looked like gems (I kept mine in a jar for years!). Nostalgia and stunning craftsmanship - could any girl ask for more?

I so wish that I wore more jewellery as I'd clear Anne's workshop in a Cardiff second but alas ... apart from a treasured (very simple and understated) necklace, it just doesn't work for me. i have been compared to a man in drag when wearing dangly ear rings ... lets just (aahhherm!) leave it at that and move on to the pictures ...









And finally ... the woman herself. Sorry Anne. It's such a lovely picture of you (even if I do say so myself!) that I had to share it ;) You can get me back later.
