Viewing entries in the Design Inspiration category
Reticulation
Although I’m not a gold wearer, I’m feeling very inspired by the organic reticulation in these bold wrist-pieces.
Les Fleurs du Regret
Breathtaking new collection by Melbourne jewellery designer Estelle Dévé now available at Alegorie.
Two Toned
Loving the mix of the ultra-high gloss patent leather with matte leather and suede.
It’s got me thinking about how I can combine a mix of textures and finishes into my jewellery.

Woman
As an occasional contributor to Australian INfront, I felt particularly compelled to enter a submission to their 5th Visual Response design competition. The theme was WOMAN, and much like the title suggests, all entrants were required to design a visual response based on that theme.
After several setbacks with an alternate production method I designed and hand-forged this sterling silver ring as my entry. Although kind of hard to determine in these images, it has a highly polished exterior and a soft, graduating scratch finish across the ruffled lip.
The Nymphae Ring did not make the top 20 but it was the only entry of it’s kind – that is to say, the only three dimensional response to the theme (although I couldn’t physically submit the three dimensional object so it had to be photographed and submitted that way).
When Lorena came to me last year with the proposal of featuring a higher rotation of fashion-based design content on Australian INfront she was met with a lot of resistance from the community, predominately in two-dimensional design fields who saw no merit in something as “frivolous” as fashion design. I would like to think that with my three-dimensional object design and manufacture – that I might inspire and encourage other non-typical two-dimensional Australian designers to partake in such a wonderful community-driven competition to help spread the word that there is more to real design than what is rendered on a computer screen.
The Nymphae Ring is a one-of-a-kind piece and is available for sale. Please e-mail lost@ seaofghosts.com with enquiries.
