About the Artist

From Scotlant, Veronica started in 2000 to start seriously exploring jewellery after becoming increasingly fascinated with precious metal clay (PMC). The clay connection came from more than 20 years as a successful potter, and Veronica enjoys the challenge of working on a very different scale. Veronica is now working exclusively with silver, wire and semi-precious stones.

Veronica's current body of work explores the fusion of several techniques, which she has been refining since 2003. Crocheted and knitted fine wire is combined with shell, PMC silver or sometimes used alone in sculptural form, to create cuff bracelets, necklaces, collars and rings which she then weaves with gemstones, pearls and crystals. Veronica has a life-long knowledge of knitting and crochet which gives an endless supply of inspiration for stitches as well as for pattern and colour. This medium holds seemingly unlimited possibilities and in 2006 I have been exploring more textural and sculptural directions, as the crocheted wire allows for strength and form while still maintaining a delicate beauty. Veronica is very excited by this combination of techniques and gratified by the response to the work. Veronica has designed a collection priced to appeal to a wide range of customers, from simple pendants selling at $50 to elaborate collars and cuffs up to $2000.

Pearl Girls felt fortunate enough to have met her in person and we were overwhelmed with the uniqueness of her work...the beauty that comes from within her is shown in her work.
