Description

The book is an illustrated collection of projects carried out in silver and gold reflecting the many interesting personal stories that combine people with a place of significance portrayed in miniature for a special event in their lives. This is the story of forty years of making architecturally-based silverware, from small domes and columns on stud earrings to larger bespoke presentation pieces. The author charts her development from student days to acquisitions by the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts amongst others. Her insights into how to render buildings such as the Pantheon in Rome, the Sydney Opera House or Oxford’s Sheldonian Theatre into a brooch, a ring or a box make fascinating reading.

Author Biography:

Vicki Ambery-Smith is an acclaimed jeweller and silversmith. She specialises in unique commemorative pieces that capture a client’s connection to a building of special significance. Her miniature interpretations play with the power of architecture to inspire fantasy, trigger memory and evoke sensations.
