Waste silver, left over from other works was used to create these rings. The pieces are welded together, melted to a point, and a stone socket is formed.
Jenny Edlund is a silversmith and goldsmith by training, apprenticed with the renowned Christer Jonsson and Lena Bergestadt. She has been making jewellery for 25 years. Jenny also teaches and lectures at home and abroad, and has exhibited her work extensively. In addition, she has a background in university psychology, which, combined with her metal-forming training, art research, and theory, gives her work a unique existential expression. Jenny’s jewellery celebrates life and explores the big themes and ponderings of human existence: the subconscious, musings on time, change and decay, and the circularity of life. Her jewellery, holloware, and exhibition pieces are expressive and thought-provoking. Jenny specialises in crafting textures and developing surfaces in recycled silver.

This is an organic shaped bowl, leaf-like, with a structured surface covered with enamel. The piece rests on its edges, and the middle of the bowl hovers above the table surface.
