NEUTOPIA: Sarah Narici's winning design

"Made are delighted to have teamed up with Central St. Martin’s to offer one 2nd year jewellery student the chance to have their design hand-made in our workshop in Kenya."

"Sarah Narici’s design caught the eye of all three judges due to her beautiful drawings and unusual design. The necklace is focused around the 2012 apocalyptic premonitions and Sarah’s creation explores the idea of new life and growth after obliteration. From the collar of bells around the neck, which represent new bulbs, flower petals cascade down the chest symbolising new life, rich with colour."

Some images from the CSM NEUTOPIA show. I felt very fortunate to be invited to NEUTOPIA too see the work of up and coming jewellers at CSM. They are in their second year, so they still have a year of study left. I can't wait to see how their work develops over the next year!

I thought overall the works were bold, some playful, others dramatic and all presented in a very professional show. It was also great to see such diversity of design and character...obviously each students individual way of working has been encouraged which is such a positive thing for the future of jewellery in the UK. Congrats to all the students and staff involved in the project.

I have chosen five of my favourites from the show. The images are taken from the csm fashion blog I Granary, which tracks the work of students and is completely student led.
