Angie Young Jewellery Statement

I am a graduate from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee in 2005 with a Bdes (hon) Jewellery & Metal Design winning the Goldsmiths Precious Metal Bursary prize for my long wrap neckpiece. Since then I have been building my business, concentrating on developing and promoting my work as well as expanding my outlets and participating in various exhibitions.

The inspiration for allot of my larger pieces of work originates in natural materials and textures. I have combined this with my training in jewellery and metal design and love of silver tableware to produce a range of table pieces that combine silver and willow, and a collection of wearable silver & willow bracelets, I have also more recently developed a collection of jewellery using cast willow and semi-precious stones.

Other collections include: Silver & Gold Wirework Collection, hand knotted silver and gold wire made into bowls and a wide range of jewellery. Hammered Silver Collection, which includes a full range of jewellery for women and men and is made up of a few smaller collections, including; hammered D, flat hammered, hammered silver with topaz, tri colour hammered hearts, multi link and oxidised silver collections. My most recent hammered silver collection is Black Pearl & Hearts; which uses various hammered heart styles with black pearls, linked simply in drop earrings and pendants as well as linked with multiple strands of silver chain to create a variety of neck pieces, bracelets & earrings.

One of my newer collections is the Gold Leaf Collection, domed silver with a 24ct gold leaf center put together in a variety of ways. The collection includes neckpieces, pendants, earrings, cufflinks and rings.

Each of the above collections are continually growing and changing with new designs being added regularly.
