TEARS
Inspired by the pressing issue of melting icebergs in Antarctica and its effect on the wildlife living in the area, the Tears collection took inspiration from nature, architecture, and Chinese calligraphy to create a series of minimalist yet metaphorical designs.
The Tears of Hope Bangle won the Goldsmiths’ Craft & Design Award in the sustainability category. This meaningful design inspired Edward to develop a collection that is dedicated to the global warming issue. Many designs from the collection capture small and melting details from our nature. For example, the Dew Ring is inspired by a drop of morning dew that got stuck between branches; the Tears Ring depicts the moment when ice turns into water.
DESIGN & CRAFTSMANSHIP
The shape and structure of the designs drew inspiration from the skeletons of Antarctic animals, Parametricism architecture, and Chinese calligraphy. Edward poetically created a series of designs in futuristic forms and embedded them with heartfelt and tearing messages through the clever selection of materials.
All the pieces from the collection are made with Fairtrade or recycled precious metal, and each piece of gemstone is natural and sourced ethically. Our skilled craftsmen employ century-old techniques to set each gemstone by hand, ensuring a perfect finish. All stone settings and platings are completed after orders are placed to minimise stock wastage and better protect our environment. All the designs in this collection are also available in 18ct gold or platinum.
