Vicky Forrester creates distinctive contemporary jewellery that brings together sculptural form, precious materials and inventive craftsmanship. Balancing bold statements with subtle details, her work explores the relationship between material, texture and form. Each piece is designed and handcrafted in her London studio, combining experimentation with traditional jewellery-making skills. The collections are available to buy as shown, or can provide the starting point for a bespoke commission. Designs can be adapted in gold, platinum, silver and other metals, with precious stones incorporated where appropriate. CONTACT For enquiries, purchases or bespoke commissions, please email: ABOUT THE WORKCombining the inherent qualities of materials with inventive techniques, Vicky creates wearable forms that explore texture, shape, contrast and surface. Her process moves between hand-sculpted forms, casting and traditional silversmithing, incorporating texturing, selective plating and patination. Her approach is experimental and intuitive. Ideas emerge through the exploration of materials, the possibilities of a particular technique and the freedom to play with form. Over more than 30 years, this process has resulted in several distinct but interconnected collections, each expressing different moods, ideas and intentions. The work ranges from dramatic statement pieces to quieter, more understated forms, reflecting an ongoing exploration of jewellery as a means of personal and creative expression. BOOK – ELEMENTAL JEWELLERYPublished in the UK and US in 2012, and translated into Spanish, Elemental Jewellery explores the creative possibilities of Earth, Water, Air and Fire as sources of inspiration. Commissioned to write the book, Vicky developed twenty step-by-step projects demonstrating how these elements can inform conceptual thinking, material exploration and jewellery-making techniques.
