Rachel Dorris: ‘In my latest collection, entitled Tulip, I’ve used two hollow silver vessels intertwined to represent the pleasing shape of a tulip flower’ The main body of work is her Vessel jewellery collection. Vessel incorporates characteristic silver hollow forms. Tactile and enticing, these forms are placed sensitively on the wearer to elegant effect. Altering the size and shape of the forms, Rachel can conjure many natural objects such as leaves on twigs, shells, flowers, and enticing rock-crystal geodes.

Louise Miller: ‘I like using cutting techniques to create intricate patterns that are incorporated into my jewellery’ Her inspiration for surface designs ranges from the rich ornament found in Islamic lands, through to Art Noveau tiles, Japanese origami and Mexican paper-cutting. Non-precious materials such as acrylic, resin and paper are combined with silver and 18ct gold. Some pieces, when not being worn, can be housed in wall-mounted capsules to become part of a larger, decorative picture.
