Accidental Heirlooms

 

Clusters of silver gathered around glass enamels like set stones, the ripples of oxidised silver forming silhouettes of classic antique jewellery. Gillam-Hull uses found and waste glass in an innovative enamelling technique, recognising the glass as an accidental material inheritance, and reworks the forms into new jewellery. This is a reimagining of waste into a new precious form, creating speculative heirlooms of history with the potential to be passed on again to new wearers.
