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.

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. 

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.

Mirroring the Fragile Form Sculptures by Mari Thomas, this stunning brooch is crafted from 18 ct gold and black ruthenium - two precious metals chosen by Thomas to reflect our curatorial theme of Black and Gold for Collect. 

The intricate hand carving, while creating interest within the piece, captures Thomas' response to our brief for Collect and reflects the significance of words and language within the Fragile Form Series. 

A beautiful decorative wall piece inspired by the waterfalls of Wales.

'Rhaeadr' translates as waterfall or cascade and this piece captures the movement of the water as it plummets over a sheer shelf of rock to a pool below. 

The patination cleverly captures the rich flora and fauna of the surrounding rock and its architectural structure.

This work was created specifically for Collect 2025 and is a departure from the work for which Higson is more widely known. But her fascination and love for the mountainous terrain of North Wales underpins this piece, the meticulous detail typical of her work and key to capturing the beauty and mystique of the waterfall and its environs.

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. 

Sterling silver jewellery box with brooch and earrings.

The simple, chased lines of this elegant jewellery box by Rebecca Oldfield, belies its ingenuity with two beautiful jewellery pieces hidden within. 

The box is skilfully crafted to create the perfect storage for a chased silver brooch and a stunning pair of silver and 18 ct gold earrings with diamond decoration, two small hooks enabling the earrings to hang freely within it. 

A brooch pin is cleverly concealed within the lid of the box - meticulously chased to align with the chasing on the base of the box - to transform it into a stunning and wearable piece of art.
