AMY STRINGER

Precious? / UK

 

Amy fuses industrial and precious materials to create bold, one off contemporary jewellery.

Amy primarily combines cement with striking metalwork, nature and gemstones to challenge society’s perception of ‘precious’.

With architectural undertones running throughout Amy’s work, contrasting with recognisable fine and historic jewellery elements, her designs are anything but ordinary.

Amy Studied at BA level at Sheffield Hallam University where she developed her signature style. Since moving back to Leeds, UK, Amy has continued to champion contemporary jewellery through her own work, teaching, mentoring and curating.

Amy has exhibited her collections locally and internationally and worked with many galleries across the UK.
