The Work

A love of colour and a fascination with the innate beauty of gemstones, are the inspiration behind Laragh's work.

A combination of silver beads, gold and other natural found objects helps each piece to evolve in a unique way.

Tiny pearls entwined around nuggets of raw quartz and semi-precious stones create a striking contrast.

Subtle colour combinations and clusters of varied textures of both rough and polished stones are what give depth to the pieces.

Other works are a vibrant concoction of contrasting colours and natural forms, which are strong and dramatic.

Quirky earrings with such things as tiny carved turquoise birds, bells and pearls in un-identical pairs are part of the designs that occur as individual pieces evolve.

Laragh has attended workshops in London, the USA and the mid-Cornwall School of Jewellery and was recently awarded second place for work at the International London Jewellery show for her piece entitled 'Something Blooming'.
