graduate of the Royal College of Art, An Alleweireldt won the Armourers and Braziers
Prize for innovative work. As a Belgian designer she has established herself
in London for the last ten years, selling internationally at private exhibitions,
shops and galleries. "Jewellery
is inspiring in it's ability to seek beauty in the overlooked, challenging the
notion of preciousness. I like to combine materials we know as precious with
everyday materials like vinyl, wood and rubber. My belief is that every material
or object can be inspiring; it is a matter of how you look at them and what you
make of it. My collections include turning vinyl records, lollipop sticks,
seeds of the rainforest etc into stunning pieces you would want to wear. It's
necessary to look a little closer as things may not be as they seem." | | |
