V&A: Bejewelled Jewellery

This head piece / turban piece really stood out in the collection because the delicate feathers were so luminous white and carefully positioned in place, the intricacies of the patterns were incredible to see up close. This piece inspired me even more so to push myself with detail when crafting my lino prints.

I love the colours in these jewels. They are natural yet often enhanced with foil underneath to add depth to the jewel. I love the quality and care in the cut and presentation of these jewels. There was an amazing documentary video showing the process of producing the jewellery in India and the care and time taken to produce each piece was mind blowing.
