design process

Wolf Collection Shetland Fire Festival Up Helly Aa jewellery inspired by wolf incisor teeth - silver earrings, bangle, ring, necklace and ear studs

I was commissioned by Leigh and Vicki Smith to create a jewellery collection to be worn by and celebrate their South Mainland Up Helly Aa Jarl Squad. After initial discussions with them, I created mood boards of images, played with ideas and pencilled initial concepts. Wolves teeth (the incisors, carnassials and fangs) caught my imagination and became the prevailing motif. Leigh and Vicki provided valuable feedback as designs of the rings developed from my drawings.

I then created a wax carving of the Incisor ring, which was cast in silver to produce a ‘master pattern’ and used to reproduce the final pieces in a range of precious metals. Each ring is hand-finished in Hoswick and Hallmarked in Edinburgh.
