One of my first collections and still a firm customer favourite, this range has evolved over the last twenty-four years. Coiling, layers of wires of different thicknesses in silver and gold form rings, earrings, bangles, brooches, neckpieces and cufflinks.
One of my first collections and still a firm customer favourite, this range has evolved over the last twenty-four years. Coiling, layers of wires of different thicknesses in silver and gold form rings, earrings, bangles, brooches, neckpieces and cufflinks.
Inspired by the simplicity of flower petal silhouettes this range includes earrings, chains and pins.
Each piece in this range is made up from single or multiple double-looped elements. Earrings, rings, bangles and chains.
Made up of circle, oval and arch elements dissected by curved lines, often with an asymmetric twist, this collection is made up of earrings, rings, cufflinks and necklaces.
This was the first collection that I designed where all the metal used in the collection was recycled and the gemstones were reclaimed or traceable. This was a departure in terms of style for me but I really enjoyed working in a new way… these pieces are manipulated into shape whilst the metal is still molten and red hot. Rings, earrings, bangles, cufflinks and pins make up this collection
This collection draws inspiration from overlapping leaf patterns which have become parred down over time into graphic shapes across earrings, bangles, cufflinks, chains and one-off brooches.
This simple arching shape (of a semi-circle) works well in repetition and in this collection I use it to create interesting earrings, bangles, pins, pendants and chains.
The designs for this collection developed out of the desire to produce a floral motif without being too feminine. The resulting clusters are constructed from circles of domed discs brought together into stylized elements. The collection includes earrings, rings, brooches and necklaces.
When I couldn’t face going into the workshop early on in the pandemic I started sketching and while I was trying to get my head around ideas for work, one graphic image kept presenting itself; that of a circle sliced by a straight line along various chords but never along its diameter. The circle becomes segmented, divided unequally, changing the whole permanently. In some ways it is reminiscent of a Stop or No Entry sign as it feels like a call to halt – what was routine is no longer possible or even acceptable. Hold tight. The collection that developed out of this is called Pause and includes earrings, rings, pins and necklaces.
Janice is always working towards new work which can be a mix of limited-edition pieces as well as one-off pieces for exhibitions.
