Oxidised sterling silver Twist hoops

42mm drop (including hooks)

Laura Jer’s New Zealand jewellery practice is very much process-driven, using folding, bending and creasing of thin silver plate to create depth and layers from a single flat surface. Each piece is beautifully simple, fluid, expressive and all-inclusive, as the finding that connects object to wearer is created within the same sheet, thus removing the need for soldering or joining additional material.

Laura’s designs are never sketched out; instead they come to life when she puts hand to metal and starts to manipulate and shape the material. It is always the metal that provides the inspiration for her work.
