Artist’s Statement:

Eisā Jewellery began with me, Nichole – hello! Inspired by nature and our beautiful surroundings we’re fortunate enough to call home, here in Dorset. Using hidden textures foraged during local walks with my family, with the help of little feet who saw much closer to ground, happily picking up and turning over all manor of things sat beneath their feet, which would otherwise be overlooked, were magically transformed when imprinted into metal, reigniting the 12 year old budding jewellery designer in me from 24 years ago. Always holding the creative bug and the endless encouragement to embrace my drawing abilities, I took a leap of faith 4 years ago, away from the pencil and instead began my self taught journey with something new to me – silver metal clay and sheet silver. But ever wanting to learn and develop, a year on I swiftly added Kuem Boo to my bow, to allow me to incorporate the beautiful two tone effect of 24 carat gold foil fused with my silver pieces. Nowadays, my handmade lampwork glass is also featured in my work, allowing me to add all manor of colour and dimensions to my jewellery pieces, as seen here today.
