Glint Jewellery Provides an Antidote to Boho

London (PRWEB) September 9, 2005

For those weary of the ubiquitous ‘boho’ beads and hippie earrings of recent seasons, Glint jewellery’s distinctive, feminine designs provide welcome relief.

Self-taught designer-maker Kate Wood launched Glint in December 2003. Her designs are characterised by soft, organic forms and subtle combinations of colours and surface textures. Kate makes each piece by hand, combining meticulous attention to detail with careful sourcing of quality materials to form elegant and affordable earrings, necklaces and bracelets.

After completing her French degree, Kate worked as a museum curator while continuing to indulge her passion for jewellery making in her spare time. ‘As I experimented with different materials and techniques, I began to think seriously about developing my own line of jewellery’, she says. ‘I always got compliments when I wore my designs, and the idea took root that this could grow into something special.’

Glint’s four themed collections are constantly evolving. Launching this autumn, Sequin is a capsule collection of simple, delicate 9ct yellow gold pieces with beaded detailing in shades inspired by Indian textiles.

Cluster is a range of delicate pieces in oxidised sterling silver with meticulously wire-wrapped accumulations of tiny freshwater pearls and semi-precious faceted beads, including unusual stones like tanzanite and apatite.

Swagger is dark and dramatic, with chunkier stones and layered chains, and Vintage Leaf is based around vintage brass leaf charms. ‘They have a great patina and an ancient, Greek or Roman look to them,’ adds Kate.

‘I love fashion, but I see my jewellery as going beyond seasonal trends,’ she continues. ‘I aim to create pieces that women will wear for years to come.’

Glint jewellery is carried in selected London boutiques and is available to buy online from http://www.glintjewellery.co.uk
