Goldsmiths’ Stories
Stories of craftspeople and creativity
For nearly 700 years the Goldsmiths’ Company has championed the trade and craft by nurturing and promoting the skills, talents and creativity of fine jewellers and silversmiths.
We’re passionately committed to amplifying the voices and stories of those who work in studios and behind benches, dedicating their lives to the creation of beautiful objects. Without this creative process there is no craft.
To celebrate these craftspeople and their creativity, we created Goldsmiths’ Stories - home for tales of the trade and craft of gold and silversmithing that are inspirational, engaging, educational, and true.
Geometry and spirituality: the jewellery of Melanie Eddy
Although maths hadn’t been a favourite subject in school, jeweller Melanie Eddy’s post-graduate studies led her to research medieval architecture and art, and the maths which they were based upon. Curator and writer Rachel Church traces explores Melanie’s rediscovery of mathematics, it’s application in her jewellery, and the spirituality that underpins it.
