The Gold Price
Print
The Alchemical Jeweller [adj. + n.] A maker of objects and adornments; who finds inspiration in substances, scents and science. Pronunciation: /alˈkɛmɪk(ə)l//ˈdʒuːələ/
Through the creation of my work I emerged as an alchemical jeweller. I found the inspiration for my final year collection in materials such as gold, the field of science and the world of scents, perfumes and smells. I am determined to find solutions for the visualisation and containment of invisible substances, concepts and scents. My research into the alchemical eventually brought me to a new material combining resin and Nano gold particles, a recipe book on wearable solid perfumes, a poster recording the price of gold and two perfume containers that rethink the application of perfume.
