British designer Sia Taylor evokes the lyrical beauty of nature through her fine jewellery. While a sculpture student at London’s Royal College of Art, Sia spent her last term at a research camp in the bush in Botswana. It was a creatively inspirational time, where Sia became deeply interested in the subtle lives and forms of the seeds and plants around her. These forms become the object of study for her jewellery collections, where they are translated into gold and arranged in delicate harmony.Taylor’s approach is minimal and refined. The subtlety of her pieces draws the connoisseur in, so that they can truly appreciate the quality of her craftsmanship and materials. She works entirely in silver and white gold, and makes every piece by hand in her studio. It is a meditation and a labour of love, which shows through in the final product. Each piece becomes like a work of hard –something precious to hold on to and cherish.
