 SIGNATURE PIECE:

SATURN’S STORM – A massive hexagonal-shaped storm was discovered on Saturn’s north pole in the 1980s. The raging hurricane is 32,000 kilometres in diameter and over the years has been observed to have changed from a blue colour to a more golden colour. It has six distinct sides, larger than the size of the earth, which form the shape of a hexagon.

Saturn's Storm, Yuki Mathwin, Abrecht Bird,

 

FAVOURITE GEMSTONE :
That’s a difficult question. At the moment it’s opal. I’m totally mesmerised by all the colours.

FAVOURITE METAL :
18 carat yellow gold.

FAVOURITE TOOL :
Hammer, there’s something about hammering. Maybe it’s the noise, or the power to manipulate metal, that I really enjoy.

BEST NEW TOOL DISCOVERY :
I love our laser welder, there is nothing it cannot do!

BEST PART OF THE JOB :
Being able to talk about jewellery all day.

WORST PART OF THE JOB :
Two things. Waking up in the middle of the night, thinking about a job. Constantly dropping small diamonds. They’re both pretty bad!

BEST TIP FROM A JEWELLER :
You never stop learning.

BEST TIP TO A JEWELLER :
Never give up.

BIGGEST HEALTH CONCERN ON THE BENCH :
My mental health, because I always feel inspired to make myself jewellery, but don’t have the time!

LOVE JEWELLERY BECAUSE :
Jewellery is a form of expression and can hold a lot of meaning. I love the history of jewellery too, a piece can tell many stories.
