For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved collecting and making beautiful and interesting objects. Growing up, I spent countless holidays gathering shells and exploring my grandmother’s haberdashery collection. I also had a bit of a thing for beautiful wallpaper. Finding small treasures that are often overlooked and giving them value is something I love to do.
Now I use this inspiration to combine geometric forms, patterns, and found objects with fine materials such as gold, silver and precious stones, creating amazing small objects and wearable works of art. As a contemporary jeweller, I use time-honoured practices to convey contemporary concepts – all while challenging the idea of what jewellery can be. All of my work has strong aesthetic themes – including light, shadow, reflection, depth and architectural forms. My pieces are asymmetrical yet balanced.
I’d love to meet you and show you my collection of high-quality, handcrafted jewellery. Come and say hello at my gallery on 120 Partridge Street, Glenelg South, South Australia, or email me at claire@clairebrooks.com.au.
