Lisa’s jewellery is reminiscent of childhood memories, rhymes and fairy tales.
Her first collection entitled ‘Summer Meadow’, focuses on the natural world taking direct inspiration from nature with flowers, butterflies and birds produced in precious metals combined with anodised aluminium and semi-precious stones. Reminding us of lazy days sitting in a field or garden making daisy chains listening to the birds sing and eating ice-creams! The ‘Sakura’ range is a continuation of the ’summer Meadow’ collection, taking the flowers and adding a Japanese twist, thus producing a very unique, romantic and elegant collection of jewellery.
Lisa’s latest collection ‘Dream a little Dream’ adds a playful, witty dimension to her previous work. Again combining precious metals with anodised aluminium, and this time adding dimension and ’sparkle’ with swarovski crystals, the range takes inspiration from dreams and charming childhood thoughts and notions, ‘when I grow up I want to be a princess’!
Although often quirky, her work is unique and contemporary and produced to the highest quality. Ultimately Lisa hopes her pieces will be worn with a smile!

Leila Arzaghi

Leila’s work is centred on the fleeting moments of time; nostalgic contemplation of certain instants underlines her interest.
Transforming memories from feelings to tactile and tangible objects is her way of reminding the wearer and viewer of the beauty of the moment.

She attempts to introduce the actual quality of memories itself…

“Careful consideration of the materials has led me to the intuitive use of yarn in my work, which suggests temporality, fragility and preciousness. This technique further enables me to echo the malleable quality of memories. The use of photographs enforces the essence of the moment and introduces the importance of memento.”

These elements in her work capture the fragmentary everyday narratives that make up our collective memories.

Taking the natural form of the spine and the movement of vertebrae in a formal and stylised manner has been my sole direction with these works.

These vertebrae forms are a way of linking the organic and generative with the formal and mechanical.

Geometric forms have a beautiful association with naturally generated structures.
