Who hasn't dreamed of stringing berries?
Round, colourful tempting berries - a theme Inspired by a long summer's colourful edible, and not so edible produce. - Or draping straws of wild fragrant strawberries around the neck? A delicious, but shortlived adornment, sadly not for keep. In the studio the memory of fragrant berries keeps coming back, inspiring more lasting creations. When a stash of pale pink rose-quartz beads looked just like white currants it was clear, a new theme was about to ripen. Just in time for a late August pop up show held in Norway in 2013. (Read more in blogpost.) Berries, seeds and small fruit from all corners of the world provides an astounding variety of colours and textures, readily recreated with stone beads. Contrary to strawberries and currants, stone beads have the advantage of a long life. Picking berry-like beads and weaving them onto chain (like Coco Chains) seemed like a natural next step. Voila! Wearable Berries - ready for the arm. The bracelet in the image is a lovely milky rose quartz on a gun metal black chain. |

GOOD TO KNOW
For a good collaboration it helps to know each other. A few points: Our background is design focused. Grey Pearl prototypes are skillfully hand-made, but not by goldsmiths. To illustrate a design we use photos and drawings or bead up a little test. The site gives an idea of how we work and what we value, both professionally and personally. |
