Coutts London Jewellery Week: Saloukee

Coutts London Jewellery Week: Saloukee

While it’s very possible that there might be just TOO much good stuff on in London this weekend (Swinging Carnaby, Beachcombing on the banks of the Thames, Art Car Boot Sale in Brick Lane, Marylebone Village Summer Fayre, Open Squares weekend … just for starters, mind), one event I definitely won’t be missing is Treasure on Saturday morning.

As part of the official Coutts London Jewellery week schedule, Treasure showcases some of Britain’s hottest talent in contemporary jewellery design. Running over three days (starting Friday) in Covent Garden, the designers will be on hand to discuss – and sell! – their work, with many pieces starting at just £20. I’ll be posting some of my favourite picks over the next few days.

Pictured in this post is the amazingly sculptural necklaces and bracelets by jewellery designer Saloukee. Departing from the traditional use of precious metals and stones, each piece is entirely made from laser-cut paper. I'm really loving the idea of a contemporary Tudor ruff, which appears at once modern and antique. You can find Saloukee blogging about her work here.

I was in London last weekend which is probably a good thing or I’d have spent a lot of money at this event!
Those are gorgeous, thank you for sharing them!

Beautiful and flawless paper art always fascinates me. The clean trim you get with laser cut paper can’t be beaten, I bet those edges are razor sharp.

Oh gosh I love a ruff and I don’t know where to start with your fab list of things to do. I might be overcome and seek refuge under the duvert!
