Retailing
for £750, this ring is made with a base of sterling silver and
decorated with gold, peridot, aquamarine and antique beads.
This price
seems very reasonable for a unique piece of jewellery made using a variety of
techniques. A quick internet search for jewellery of a similar price
shows a long list of far less imaginative pieces.
The amount
of detail in all of Tomlinson's work is amazing, she shows an
obvious affinity with the materials and talks about her passion for drawing
attention to minute details, which is a theme I also find fascinating. I
like how her work has the ability to appear both glamorous and natural in
style.
At first
it seemed that this piece had no relation to my own work, but after
considering the layering of decoration, and the
encrusting; embellishing and opulent style shown in the
design, it becomes easy to draw a comparison, particularly in my
latest work with the layers of glaze, lustres and transfers which I used to
create this type of luxurious style.
Her website
is definitely worth a browse: http://ruthtomlinson.com/
