Lucy Palmer
Lucy creates unique and beautiful jewellery inspired by myths, fairytales and folklore, with an emphasis on animals and the natural world. In her designs she escapes the mundane and creates a magical world of enchanted forests, mysterious creatures, and far away places. With a fascination for stories of all kinds from ancient myths and legends to children’s tales, Lucy uses these narratives in her work, inviting the viewer to recall a favourite story, or to make up their own. Jewellery has long been surrounded by tales of magical powers, from golden necklaces that enchant the wearer and bewitch others, to rings which possess great power so these themes feel particularly relevant. The intricate designs are cut by hand in precious metals and are often layered to give a three-dimensional, miniature stage set effect. Decorative techniques are used to embellish the surface, including ‘Keum Boo’, an ancient Korean technique of fusing 24ct (pure) gold foil to silver. After graduating from Nottingham Trent University with a degree in Decorative Arts, Lucy spent several years working as a Community Artist before deciding to focus on producing her own creative work.
