RUTH TOMLINSON ENCRUSTED RING WITH SILVER BARNACLES
DESCRIPTION:
Inspired by stories of shipwrecks and forgotten underwater worlds. Ruth uses gems and colours of the sea; pearls, coral aqua’s combined with silver to create a collection that conveys the transient cycle of nature; growth, life and decay.
“I am driven by my passion for the magic of minutiae, tiny intricacies, small oddities and the search for preciousness within the world. I always search for beauty within objects; this might be found in the inherent value of a piece, the rarity of the material or in a curiosity of nature.
I respond to my immediate environment and am open to spontaneous finds and observations. I use a variety of materials and aim to work them into jewellery of a sensitive and delicate quality. I hope to evoke a sense of wonder around my work which leads people to question the idea of preciousness.” - Ruth Tomlinson, 2010
