Claire Troughton

Claire Troughton produces stunning jewellery collections celebrating the sculptural plants and tiny creatures of the great British countryside. She is fascinated by capturing a tiny snap-shot of life; A butterfly gently landing on a flower, the unfurling of a leaf and the fat and furry bumble bees buzzing around in the summer. Using traditional gold smithing techniques, she translates the delicacy and fleeting beauty of nature into more permanent objects of desire. Through the use of predominantly silver, with touches of gold, a distinctive style has been created.
