Piece of the week - Ruth Tomlinson studs



We have decided to start doing a piece of the week feature. Every week we will highlight a piece of jewellery or textiles which we have in the gallery. It might be a new piece we have just received, one that is getting a lot of attention or just something that we think it especially great! 

We are starting with Ruth Tomlinsons Sphere stud earrings from her Sketch collection. We have this oxidised silver pair in the gallery and an 18ct gold pair.Yesterday somebody bought the silver version as a gift for their daughter.

Ruth says: "I am driven by my passion for the magic of minutiae, tiny intricacies, small oddities and the search for preciousness within the world. I always search for beauty within objects; this might be found in the inherent value of a piece, the rarity of the material or in a curiosity of nature".
