Angela Learoyd

Textured and formed silver combined with interesting and unusual semi-precious gemstones give Angela’s jewellery its signature design aesthetic.

She often starts with the stone itself and this informs her design process. Experimenting with textures on silver allows her to echo the markings of the stone.

Angela use silver sheet, tube and wire to form her shapes. Some of the metalsmithing techniques used are doming, swaging, press forming and corrugation. They allow Angela to produce three dimensional, sculptural shapes. Her aesthetic is modern and bold with simple clean lines. Her pieces are comfortable and wearable. They are often matt with subtle colourings. Angela’s aim is for her pieces to make an understated statement!.

Angela sells her work through shops and galleries and at trade fairs and craft and design events. She also enjoys working collaboratively and takes part in open studio events and group exhibitions.
