It expresses in precious metal and gemstones, the strongest influences in my life as a designer: clothing/costume design, art history (with a special fondness for the Art Nouveau /Art Deco movements) and the uniqueness and strength of individual style. Floral Nouveau was inspired by my love of the Art Nouveau (and Deco) movement of the late Curved lines nineteenth century. It is contemporary and feminine. The woven wire combines my love of fiber with the asymmetrical, sinuous vines used widely within Art Nouveau art and design. and vines, woven Floral Architecture is layered contemporary jewelry with simple construction techniques where together. stones seem to float in their floral frames.

  • Supporting Contemporary Makers
    Supporting contemporary makers Acquisitions for the Goldsmiths’ Company Collection 2019–2020 Dr Dora Thornton Supporting contemporary makers: acquisitions for the Goldsmiths’ Company Collection 2019–20 The Goldsmiths’ Company has supported excellence, craftsmanship and skills in the goldsmiths’ community ever since the Company received its first Royal charter in 1327. The Company now has one of the finest collections of British silver, including contemporary and historic plate, modern jewellery and art medals. Much of the Collection is still used for its original purpose. Jewellery is worn at occasions in the Hall. Pieces are also displayed in exhibitions and lent elsewhere, as well as being used for teaching the next generations of makers, our apprentices at the Goldsmiths’ Centre, and promoting wider knowledge and patronage of the craft. Our ambitious plans to digitise our collections will eventually make much of our material—objects and archives—freely available online through our website to show who we are and what we do. This booklet describes the Company’s acquisitions, which are overseen by the Contemporary Craft Committee, over one year, from April 2019 to April 2020. Many of the purchases—and one commission—are the work of makers who are new to the Collection. Commissions completed this year include a superb brooch; two very different portrait medals of Prime Wardens of the Company; and three Court Cups, designed to be used by individual members of the Court of Assistants in the Hall. The cups are paid for by the Company and since 2018 have formed part of the Collection; they advertise the work of particular makers and excellence in the trade while also recording much about their individual patrons.
