Description
Interlocking Stories Catch Brooch by Shelanu.
The Interlocking Stories range was designed by members of Shelanu and includes three collections: Match, Catch & Latch, which share a design approach and so could be worn together. The collections combine striking contemporary designs with meaning; inspired by the importance of life balance, binding human connections and the amalgamation of diverse elements and stories that define each one of us. The jewellery is a true reflection of the collective sprit found within Shelanu.
The bold outlines of the Catch collection create simple but statement pieces including rings, brooches, earrings, pendants and a bracelet.
These strikingly contemporary pieces are cast in 925 silver in Birmingham’s famous Jewellery Quarter, gold plate highlights are added to provide variety to the range, and pieces are hand finished by Shelanu members in their workshop.
The Interlocking stories range was developed with support from artist Charlotte Valkeniers.
