Oxidised Talisman Rings, contemporary jewellery inspired by nature.

The Talisman contemporary jewellery range is inspired by researching red list species after reading ‘The Running Hare’ by John Lewis-Stemple and ‘Rewilding’ by Isabella Tree.

Each oxidised Talisman Ring has the names of rare species of plants and animals which are endangered and/or extinct due to mis-informed human actions. I wanted to create a contemporary jewellery collection which calls to mind the names of those diminishing lives as a way of remembering them and holding them in our consciousness.

A portion of the profits from each sale will be donated to a related charity to help fund the work they do in saving our wildlife and wild places.

The oxidised Lichen Talisman Ring uses the names of Lichens which I have found while walking, not necessarily rare but unique and beautiful and signifiers of the health of our environment as well as influential to me across my creative practice.

I hand write the words onto the silver before etching to give a raised design which you can feel when you run your finger over the textured surface.

These Talisman Rings are timeless and beautifully handcrafted pieces of jewellery great for everyday wear with a touch of luxury.

Hand crafted contemporary organic jewellery for people who love wild places. Inspired by Cornwall, made in Cornwall.
