Verto : Silver & Diamonds
2015
Silver, 18ct gold, 29 diamonds, silicone, magnets
A turning point
When I completed Verto in 2015, it was the most ambitious piece I’d made up to that point — and the first time I’d incorporated stones into my work. It marked a real turning point in my practice.
In 2016, Verto received four awards, including The Goldsmiths’ Company Award. It also marked my first appearance at Masterpiece London with Didier Ltd, and was later sold by Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery to art collector Tiqui Atencio.
In 2020, Verto was featured in COVETED: Art and Innovation in High Jewelry by Melanie Grant, who included me as one of 75 global artists she believes have changed the landscape of jewellery as an art form.
