Claire Sandham of Reverie Designs creates jewellery that embodies a sense of ancient mystery and enigmatic beauty. Working predominantly in silver, gold and gem stones, she draws her inspiration from organic shapes and nature. In Claire's words,"I try to create my pieces so the shape of the piece is open to interpretation". In this way, each piece becomes a personal symbol and even more unique and deeply meaningful to it's wearer.
We paired Claire with Werner Boshoff as the work of both designers focuses on a subtle flow of form - Claire's through the delicate swirls and curves of her pieces, and Werner through the fluid and free lines of his clothing. The ethereal appearance of Werner's key fabric choice (hemp silk) and sense of movement his designs allow, also complement the organic feel of Claire's designs. Claire's use of both bright silver and dark, oxydised silver fits effortlessly into Werner's light -but with an edge of darkness- palette, and his concept of the Urban Valkyrie.
In Werner's words: "Things like movement, the feeling of being free, challenged by life, yet completely unrestricted by the clothes you where."
All Claire's Remake Challenge jewellery pieces will be for sale at KIN on Kloof until the end of September, and then they will be on show at our KIN stand at the Sanlam Handmade Contempory fair in Joburg.
