| Ruth Wood graduated in June 2006 from the School of Jewellery in Birmingham after studying a degree in jewellery design and silversmithing. Afterwards she was accepted to Bishopsland, a one year stepping stone for Jewellery and Silversmithing graduates to begin working for themselves as designer makers sharing a workshop in South Oxfordshire. Currently Ruth works from her studio in Leicestershire.
Ruth’s work is inspired by ancient artefacts and treasures, irregular form and the erosion and texture of materials, such as rock formations within caves. In her Cave collection she creates timeless contemporary jewellery combining irregular abstract metal forms with unique one off stone set pieces that look almost as if they have been pulled from the ground, creating your very own stone set treasure. The collection is made from silver, gilt and 18ct gold with gemstones and diamonds. |
