A new collection of pieces designed for Dovecot Studios inspired by their tapestry.
Made with traditional enamelling techniques these vibrant new pieces take inspiration from Dovecot's new tapestry The Caged Bird’s Song. Just as the vibrant layered colour gradients have been translated from watercolour into tapestry form, these jewellery pieces utilise layering of different enamels to capitalise on their interactions to create painterly gradient effects. Each piece has its own variation of colour and speckle, harnessing the unique irregularities between enamel layers that come to life through the firing process. These bold, playful pieces investigate a new way of working for Nmarra, bringing bright colour to signature distinctive design lines. Shapes were inspired by the natural and ethereal themes of the tapestry, the surface tension of water droplets, leaf shadows and blooms which are translated into wearable pieces with a joyful feel.
