Helen West

Helen trained at Loughborough College of Art And Design for a BA in 3 Dimensional Design.1975/ 1978. Since then she has worked in various sections of the jewellery trade.

For the past few years Helen has concentrated on developing her own designs, using a lot of both precious and semi- precious stones as she likes the colours and the endless variations.

She makes up decorative pieces in silver and gold with wire and sheet, creating small three dimensional sculptures to use as adornments.

Recently she has also been exploring these techniques for small precious objects such as Boxes, Spoons, Serviette Rings and Letter Openers.

Although Helen uses themes in her designs, each piece of jewellery is individually made, giving her the adaptability to adjust the the design to accommodate different sizes of stones or to the customers requirements.
