Handcrafted silver jewellery; contemporary designs. Contrasting textures created by working the silver or incorporating semi-precious stones. I was born in Copenhagen, Denmark and moved to Cambridge in 1976. Scandinavian Design influences me; my pieces are simple, contemporary in design, timeless and accessible to wear. I like to produce contrasts in my work, whether by texturing, oxidising or milling the Silver. I particularly enjoy shaping the metal by forging and planishing and many of my pieces involve these techniques. I also include interesting semi-precious stones in my designs and highlights of gold. My full collection and examples of commissions can be seen on my website. www.birgittebruunjewellery.co.uk
