Miranda Sharpe Jewellery Online Store

By combining use of both precious and non-precious materials Miranda produces innovative jewellery that explores the notion of beauty; her approach to jewellery is to express what interests her visually, such as aspects of nature, in an abstracted way to create designs that vary from easily wearable pieces to more dramatic pieces.

Through the design process Miranda explores strength of form through simple lines and how repeating or layering materials and components can change the effect of a piece. The jewellery comprises strong forms with an air of lightness and visual delicacy, the pieces adorn the body with a subtle distinction that neither dominates nor dissolves into the body. Mirandas jewellery embodies qualities associated with beauty and ideals such as elegance, fineness, delicacy, enrichment and distinctiveness.

Currently her jewellery combines precious metals with resin (translucent & coloured), leaf metals and enamels to create striking pieces. Each piece of jewellery is mainly made and finished by hand, for which a variety of hand processes are employed, with recent addition of some cast elements. The techniques used in production include forming and manipulating metal sheet and wire to achieve the desired forms, fabricating pieces, which are then combined with resin and enamels. Textures are applied to the metal by using a rolling mill or embedding items within the resin.

A key quality to Mirandas work is the attention to detail through contrasting finishes and incorporating her own fastenings and ways to wear. Some of Mirandas latest designs have evolved in collaboration with the Birmingham Jewellery Industry Innovation Centre working with Mark and Keith her designs have been built via rapid prototyping from CAD drawings creating a master that is then reproduced by casting.
