Handcrafted Jewellery from British Silversmith
Dawn Meaden-Johnson
During the design concept I'm thinking about colour and considering how to accentuate the three dimensional aspect.
I'm always considering the final aesthetic and stretching the capabilities of the aluminium, every piece is an exploration of that process.
I adore making Brooches and Rings because they allow me more room to push out into the design space and be extravagant with composition.
Finally bringing the design to conclusion I use adapted traditional Silversmithing techniques on hand painted anodised aluminium.

Why Anodised Aluminium is my perfect choice for Contemporary Jewellery
In the Making
The unique properties of Anodised Aluminium allow the creation of a lightweight, non-allergic, colourful bespoke jewellery.
Sheets of specialist aluminium are individually hand painted and heat treated to create a completely non transferable coloured metallic surface.
The hand painted designs are extremely difficult to replicate making each painted sheet of metal a unique work of art.
Each piece of jewellery is carefully completed occasionally with the addition of Sterling Silver or other materials such as Steel, Rubber, Pearls, or Gold.
Once the metal has been painted Jewellery and Silversmithing skills are required to form this challenging metal into beautiful pieces of Contemporary Jewellery.
