Personal Statement

Inspired design and impeccable craftsmanship ensure that each piece of Annabel Eley's work is distinctive and exciting. Fine jewellery in precious metals and gem stones; contrasting matt and polished areas are often used to accentuate the fundamental form of a piece. Great care is taken to achieve a harmonious balance, the metalwork revelling in the richly coloured stone or lustrous pearl.

Whether the design source springs from ancient architecture or today's surroundings, the freshness and exuberance of each piece of jewellery gives it a uniquely contemporary presence.
