Helen Luna – Jewellery Designer, Metalsmith, Artist

I have always loved to create and after a year of studying Design I decided that Jewellery would be the perfect mix of design and hands on skill for me. I moved to Melbourne to complete my Advanced Diploma in Jewellery Design and Metalsmithing then returned home to North Coast NSW to make Jewellery.

Natural forms and textures inspire my work, from microscopic to macroscopic; I am intrigued by the vast variety of forms and textures in all organic life. My focus is on uncomplicated designs, finding beauty in simple shapes and organic textures without compromising purity of form.

I am continuously experimenting with new techniques to learn all I can about form and function and incorporating new materials, although my favourite material to work with is silver. My passion for jewellery continues to grow as my skill base increases, constantly opening new avenues of exploration.

Finally getting some images up of my work from our recent ‘Riveted’ exhibition.

I made a couple of pendants using heat treated titanium and silver and a series of cuffs using acrylic and silver.

Using rivets allows the use of some great alternative materials which cannot be joined by soldering.

I love working with buttons, they add such vibrant colour, all these new pieces are made with Sterling silver and are available at Hammer & Hand Byron Bay.
