Imogen Belfield is a jewelry designer from London. She graduated from the Sir John Cass School of Art, Media & Design at The London Metropolitan University and has won a ton of awards and everyone loves her. Including me. Her work consists of a number of cast pieces as well as a technique of embedding porcelain in metal which gives it a very prehistoric fossil-like quality. Actually, some of her pieces quite remind me of religious relics (I've been seeing a lot lately).
The Cave Ring from her FW09 collection. Quoth Imogen: "The goblin-like arms of the metal protectively clasp the porcelain form in their grip, allowing the smooth sensation of the ceramic to rest over the finger." Available at
Not Just A Label for $779.
Bark Ring from her SS09 collection "Architectural hors d’oeuvres." To quote Imogen again, "the sweeping cuts across the gold add a dramatic sense of movement and speed, inspired by the constant change, chaos and vibrancy of London’s city street cultures." Not sure I totally buy it, but whatevs. (Also at NJAL)
It's almost inappropriate how much the fact that the ring on the left isn't a complete circle pleases me.
Obviously I love these. They look like old bones.
