Jewellers and Silversmiths nurtured by the Goldsmiths’ Company
A fascinating exhibition of contemporary jewellery and silver creations showing the development of a group of talented young designer-makers
Goldsmiths’ Hall
Monday March 11 to Saturday April 13
10.00am to 5.00pm
ADMISSION FREE
Talented young jewellery designer Milena Kovanovic is thrilled to participate in “Growing Talent”, an exhibition which focuses on a diverse group of jewellers and silversmiths who have been nurtured by the Goldsmiths’ Company over the past decade. Featuring striking examples of their work, this fascinating exhibition visually demonstrates how these talented young craftspeople have blossomed since they first exhibited as recent graduates at Goldsmiths’ Fair.
The exhibition is curated by Mary La Trobe-Bateman who has taken as her theme “something old and something new” with each designer displaying a piece which they showed at their very first Goldsmiths’ Fair, together with an item made especially for this exhibition.
Milena Kovanovic will be displaying the stunning Sirena earrings from her Luxe Reef collection. These one of a kind earrings are crafted in 18ct white and rose gold, set with 9.75ct fiery orange Spessartine Garnets surrounded by Sri Lankan blue Sapphires and blue Diamonds. They also feature a discreet hinge in the middle to give a subtle movement whilst being worn, (POA).
Influenced by the visual references of art, photography and the natural world, Milena’s designs are constantly developing in fresh and new directions. Natural forms and textures play an important part in her handcrafted pieces, which often explore form, tactility and colour. A self confessed hoarder of all things quirky who took an early interest in science and antiquity, Milena turned her lifelong passion for gemstones into a career by qualifying as a gemmologist. She uses her expertise in stones to further enhance her designs into original and wearable jewellery.
Milena Kovanovic’s current jewellery ranges include the limited edition Krystalline and Ursula’s Hoard collections, created in silver, vermeil and set with gemstones; and the Luxe Reef collection of one of a kind, high end pieces crafted in 18ct gold and precious stones.
