Claire Underwood

Claire Underwood’s interest in jewellery was sparked by the adornment and colourful beadwork of the Maasai people in Kenya after a childhood visit. She has collected inspiration from all over the world since then. She strives to translate the rich textures and colours she has found into wearable art. Her work is hand built from silver and 18ct gold. She favours simple, elegant shapes and 3D forms embellished with moments of bright colour, texture and movement. She achieves this with vitreous enamel, colourful glass beads and precious gemstones attached in different ways to give movement and tactile surfaces.
