About the Artist
As a designer and Goldsmith Shivani is passionate about the whole creative process involved in crafting a piece of jewellery. Designing and making takes place in her recently opened studio in rural Worcestershire.
Inspiration for recent designs has developed from studying the decoration and theory behind ancient Moghul architecture; particularly the geometric patterned tile work and inlaid marble.
Shivani strives within each of her designs to achieve a balance between individual competing elements; these comprise composition, repetition, simplicity, symmetry, asymmetry and scale.
Pieces produced exhibit the rich, soft qualities found in the traditional Indian alloy of 22k Gold. This deep yellow Gold is often combined with the contrasting colours of White and Green Gold and vivid Gemstones.
Each piece of jewellery will be designed and made around an individually selected stone, consequently resulting in a fluid, continuously evolving range of one-off pieces. It is for this reason that Shivani is passionate about working to commission.
