Inspired by Nature
Sara Lloyd-Morris crafts a diverse range of eco-silver jewellery, including rings, earrings, necklaces, brooches, and bracelets. Inspired by the rich Pembrokeshire landscapes and wildlife, my designs capture the essence of creatures found in the region's land, sea, and sky.
I started my jewellery adventures at The School of Jewellery and Silversmithing in Hockley, Birmingham - the heart of the jewellery quarter - my first job was in the studio of the late Andre Grima HRH, Jermyn Street, London.
I’m a member of the Association of Contemporary Jewellers and Makers Guild in Wales the latter have a gallery in Cardiff Bay with a selection of my jewellery designs.
My techniques used
I love using techniques such as reticulation - melting the surface so it creates waves, roller printing with different textures I create with my original etched plates that I’ve named sea-spray, water-worn, evening-light, spiral-whisper and warm-rain all inspired by our south westerly winds and the green verdant land they create - I also use a mixture of metal including brass, copper, bronze, silver and gold.
Giving brass another life with the soft tones of a blue/green verdigris and copper treated with fire and water to create a rich earth-red, alchemy or maybe just a bit of magic, I then mix them up with precious and semi precious stones - moon stones are a firm favourite of mine for the other worldliness they bring, so gentle, subtle and strong, then there are pebbles collected over hours and hours of beach combing to find the just-right-one and then there are the water gems - pearls in all their natural baroque glory.
With a commitment to sustainability, all pieces are made from recycled gold and 925 Sterling Silver and come in recycled card boxes.
