A beautiful pendant created for Collect 2025 by Mari Thomas.  

Complementing the Fragile Form brooches, this beautiful pendant is crafted from 18ct gold and black ruthenium - two precious metals chosen by Thomas to reflect our curatorial theme of Black and Gold.

The intricate hand carving reflects the significance of words and language within the Fragile Form Series - marking Mari's personal response to our First Of March showcase at Collect 2025. 

A stunning pendant created for Collect 2025. 

This unique piece is crafted from 18ct gold and black ruthenium - two precious metals chosen by Mari Thomas to reflect our curatorial theme of Black and Gold. 

Hand carved, the pendant features the words written in response to our call for new work to showcase at Collect 2025 while reflecting the central motifs of words and language within the Fragile Form Collection. 

A stylish addition to the Collection,  the pendant can be bought separately or paired with the contrasting brooch in 18ct gold and black ruthenium. 

From her Fragile Form Series, a beautifully sculpted piece by Mari Thomas for Collect 2025. 

The sculpture evokes the fragile pages of an ancient book, words in Welsh and English hand carved into its surface to reflect the lasting impact and power of language, the wisdom of ages held within the ‘pages' - the written word being the last to decay and die. 

The hand carved lettering in this beautiful sister piece to Fragile Form Sculpture No#1 captures the signature motifs within the Fragile Form Collection. 

Created for Collect 2025, the sculpture evokes a sense of decay and fragility as seen in the pages of an ancient book - the words and language, the wisdom they hold, remaining when all else has withered and gone, the sculpted form reminiscent of a turning page.   

Responding to our curatorial theme for Collect 2025 -  'Black &Gold' - Mary Ann developed these tall faceted 'pinstripe' forms to take advantage of the dramatic contrast of gold accents against a black background. 

Typical of her 'box' form designs, these multifaceted forms can be purchased individually or as a group as shown below. 

This piece by Mary Ann Simmons is typical of her experimentation with the simple box form to create unique and original silver works. 

Responding to our curatorial theme for Collect 2025 -  'Black &Gold' - she developed these tall faceted 'pinstripe' forms to take advantage of the dramatic of contrast of gold accents against a black background. 

Shown here individually and in a group, Pinstripe Vessel (2) is one of a series of works that can be purchased seperately or as a triptych as shown below.   

Simmons' response to our curatorial theme of ‘Black and Gold’ was to create this unusual collection of ‘pinstripe’ forms using the dramatic contrast of gold accents against a black background to accentuate the edge to each individual face. 

Simmons uses the box form to create her exceptional silver work which has evolved from cubes to an exploration of symmetric and asymmetric, multifaceted forms. 

These pinstripe vessels created for Collect are a perfect example of this exploration and can be purchased individually or separately. 

Created for Collect 2025, ‘Sea of Stories’ is a wall panel which invites closer attention, filled with the mysteries and stories of the oceans - or what we choose to see within it. 

Typical of Gegenwart's work,  the piece explores the themes of rhythms and water - recurring motifs within her work - with her unique treatment of the copper giving it a particular tone, depth and interest.  

Additional complexity is added to the work by the choice of a white mount - drawing out the reflections of the lattice work to give the piece a 3 dimensional quality and provoke a tactile, as well as a visual, exploration of the work. 

For the close observer, words are etched within the panel to emphasise the language of the piece, the darkness of the work countered by the light enamel details. 

The colour of the mounting board can be changed to create different effects and interpretations of the work, but it is shown here in white as it was at Collect 2025.
