Carrie Dickens


We absolutely love these neckpieces by Carrie Dickens who graduated with a BA (Hons) Design: New Practice from Loughborough University. The heavy sterling silver forms are cast over ceramic and hung on silk threads: when you put them on you feel like you're being hugged! Carrie’s inspiration comes from a material’s reaction to manipulation. She is curious about what happens to materials at their limits, and the processes that bring them there. The overlooked detail and elegance in the memory of everyday moments of an object. The tactility of objects is paramount to Carrie: drape, weight, and ‘holdability’ are crucial. Lovely!
