Jewellery by Frances Moody
Platted bracelet, made from a hundreds thin threads of silver, platted together and tied off in a silver knot.
My work is influenced by nature and patterns created in the natural world. Swirls created by shells, ripples created by sea water and patterns left by passing animals. I take the line for a walk to see where it goes, sometimes it knots itself up and sometimes it curls around and sometimes it forms small rings that link together, but always the line has a purpose and that is to create a pleasing pattern.

Large crystal pendant, surrounded in platted silver thread, with a single 'hug' of silver wire. A natural stone that catches the light when worn.
