Contemporary silver Talisman bar earrings.

Each Talisman piece is etched the names of rare species of plants and animals which are endangered and/or extinct due to habitat loss and the use of chemicals.

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.

The Talisman project is about lost words and species on the edge of extinction – wild flowers, birds, kelp forests, sea grass and, of course, lichen. They are pieces of jewellery to be worn as a Talisman against the loss of our non-human species, to be loved and remind the wearer that nature is important. We are part of nature, not separate from it, and we all need to take more care.

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

10% from each sale will be donated to a related charity to help fund the work they do in saving our wildlife and wild places.

These Talisman pieces are timeless and beautifully handcrafted pieces of jewellery great for everyday wear with a touch of luxury. Each piece is unique so please get in touch if you would like detailed images sending by email.
