Chayle Jewellery

My work as an artist goldsmith combines my passions for traditional metalsmithing and minimalist design. I use hammering techniques to create jewellery which flows naturally with the body. The shapes I use are often bold, capturing the negative spaces and contours of the body. For me, it is important to consider the wearer within the design process of my pieces. I enjoy the challenge of creating beauty and elegance while maintaining wearability and sentimentality. With my material choices of precious metals, colourful patinas, and rustic hammer textures, I hope to capture a feelings of ancient jewellery and the romantic notion of a genuine handmade treasure. My current work seeks to create a playful dialogue between traditional and contemporary jewellery, and has become a driving force for my curiosity and creativity as an artistic goldsmith.
