Asymmetry and organic shapes inform the final designs of the work. Semi-precious gemstones introduce colour which is often key in suggesting and informing the final design of each piece. Blues conjure up coastal images of the oceanic reflections on a sunny day.

Greens invoke memories of woodland walks in the rain. Etching techniques are used to create subtle textures on silver that are reminiscent of water droplets on a leaf after the rain or grains of sand drifting on a path. Found rocks and pebbles are used to create an organic hammered finish on the silver, similar to how ancient goldsmith’s used to work.

On her dog walks, Jennie is constantly photographing rockpools, barnacles, veiny pebbles, plant forms and leaf patterns and utilising these as potential shapes and textures in her work. Inspired by the minutiae of discovered natural patterns and forms as well as the landscapes within which they sit, Jennie takes us into micro as well as macro universes with her work. The history and social anthropology of jewellery and what it symbolises to us as humans subjectively and culturally is also very important to Jennie. She seeks to create contemporary objects with significance and symbolism that relate back to our own natural environments today and what they mean for us as humans and as individuals.
