The good thing about Anathema Designs is that the jewellery does the talking which, you will all be relieved to know, means that I don’t have to.
The jewellery is made by Sian Rookwood, who is a trainee architect moonlighting as a freelance jeweller. Sian specialises in recycling broken or unusual objects and materials to create unique items of jewellery. Her aim is to change people’s perceptions about what is beautiful and what isn’t.
This heart necklace is made of Japanese chain mail and costs £25 which (I think) is far too little, given the fact that it is a unique hand-made piece. It’s a limited edition item and it’s the only one left, so anyone who wants it needs to be quick as I have my eye on it.
In October 2012, Sian was selected as a Judge’s favourite on BBC2’s “Paul Martin’s Handmade Revolution” and has since gone on to have her pieces used by stylists in photoshoots.
As jewellery making isn’t Sian’s full-time job, and because she is currently studying towards exams, there can be a time delay in turning orders around – but how much would you enjoy the anticipation of waiting for it to arrive?
You know me, I’m a sucker for anyone with amazing talent and I love the fact that with her architect’s training, Sian probably sees things completely differently to most people. Her jewellery is so different and would look equally great with a plain white T-shirt and jeans as it would adding edge to a LBD.
I have my sneaking suspicions that Anathema Designs is one to watch.
Wow, that's what I was exploring for, what a information! present here at this webpage, thanks admin of this web page.Here is my webpage: Identi.Ca

That jewellery is really unusual. I love the fact that it's so different. That first piece is lovely – have you bought it yet, Beth?!
Hi Helen – I'm with you on liking it because it's so different. No, I haven't bought it yet – haven't had time to but I hope that it's still there. Mind you, I love the bracelet too…
Hi Helen, I'm so pleased that you like the heart necklace! I'm afraid that it was snapped up this morning by somebody, but I'm considering making a new limited run with a slight variation on this design, if there is enough interest in that! Siân x

Ah and thank you again! I am sure that if you drop Sian an email she will do all that she can to help you in your quest. Loving the sign off – have just realised that you are a Mum to two girls, rather than a Mum of 22 girls!!!
Hi, I'm so pleased that you like the heart necklace! I would be very happy to discuss the possibility of working out a slight variation on the design if you would be interested in that?
