We have pleasure in introducing a collaboration of talented master craftsmen-manufactures, designers
and cutters who together have produced a bespoke range of handcrafted silver jewellery containing individually hand carved
cameo glass and polished gemstones.
The
idea for the jewellery arose from an initial conversation between Alan and Timothy Harris Master Glassblower of the renowned
Isle of Wight
Studio Glass and oldest son of Michael Harris. Alan, a talented lapidarer was interested in the concept of incorporating
precious stones into the glass making process.
From
this discussion grew the idea of making a range of bespoke jewellery using Tim's glass. Alan and Tim personally selected
the glass to be used and Alan then set about designing the jewellery. Although certain period influences can be seen
in each piece, the primary inspiration for each design was the glass itself. Similarly Alan cut and selected stones to
compliment the colours and shapes within the glass.
The
jewellery has been hand crafted by Alan's brother Randal, a Master Jeweller. Each piece bears the Poultney
brothers' hallmark that has been registered with the London
assay office and Timothy Harris signed and dated the pieces of glass upon completion of each item of jewellery.
The
collaboration did not end there: together with Tim and Tim's mother, Elizabeth Harris, a name was chosen for each piece that
the three felt reflected its individual aura.
Each
item of jewellery comes boxed together with a travelling pouch and a certificate of authenticity that incorporates a valuation
for insurance pieces.
The
end result is a range of truly unique and beautiful jewellery that reflects the skills and craftsmanship of the three men
that created it.
