Helen Swan Designer Jewellery, Company

Helen Swan Contemporary Glasgow Jewellery Designer, specialising in bespoke designer jewellery in silver, silver with gold and silver with anodised aluminium I have always enjoyed working with the ergonomics of a piece of jewellery. I design with the body in mind, trying to engineer new ways of attaching the jewellery and thus creating mechanisms that are unconventional but integrate with the overall design. By using a variety of materials, precious and non-precious, combinations of gold and silver and both shiny and matt surfaces, the variations in structure, tone and texture allow me to be innovative and to create statement pieces which are both eye catching and wearable. Using similar materials and textures throughout enables several pieces of jewellery to be worn in combination allowing the wearer to create their own individual style. My jewellery changes, develops and evolves, influenced by new ideas, trends and fashions. This awareness of what is new keeps me stimulated and creative. Whether it is a piece of jewellery from my collection or an individually commissioned bespoke piece like an engagement ring or tiara, I approach it with the same enthusiasm and attention to detail. More recently I have been making bespoke pieces of jewellery from sentimental pieces that have been inherited by my clients. Thus retaining the emotion behind the piece.
