Charlotte Verity

My work combines precious metals, silver and gold, handmade glass components, faceted stones and recently, vitreous enamels. Light is the main inspiration for my work; my jewellery reflects or refracts light from external sources, or can emit its own light through fluorescence or phosphorescence. Other pieces are inspired by vibrant city lights at night. Overall, my work is often abstract, combining shapes, colours, textures, movement and sounds with a rare use of pictorial themes. I blow miniature hollow components; spherical bubbles or straight drops from colourless glass tube and combine these with handmade precious metal elements.

Materials used in the jewellery are Sterling Silver, hallmarked where applicable, with some items being 24ct Gold plated. The Rainbow parts of the jewellery items are handmade lampworked glass; some of the glass components are filled with tiny faceted laboratory grown stones to reflect the light.
