Alice Fry is an award-winning silversmith and jewellery designer. She has just freshly graduated from the Glasgow school of art. She is inclined by minerals, rocks and gemstones. She rejoices in the muddled exquisiteness of crystal and mineral creations through the average  metal.Some of her work features blue highpoints of titanium and niobium. She uses conventional metal working talents to create contemporary commissioned pieces. I love her work as I am into crystals and have also bought a collection. I love the colour contrast between the blue and the silver. I also love how she uses the structure and shapes of the crystals to create jewellery and silverware. She uses a digital sketchbook to create stunning sketches of her research, photographs of crystals and development of her work. She uses chasing and repousse to create the rock like textures and forms. She uses anodising to add a burst of colour to her designs and she also studies the effects of metals, titanium and niobium in her work.

This piece appeals to me because it has been done using a CAD render which is what i’m interested in to design jewellery. I like that it will be made in silver, niobium and gold by using the chasing and repousse technique.

This piece appeals to me because of the pattern of the crystals and how it makes the piece stand out. I love the use of the technique chasing and repousse of the crystals.

This piece appeals to me because it reflects how no two gemstones are the same and how the hexagon crystal forms into the tourmaline gemstone.

This piece appeals to me as she first uses adobe illustrator and collage to design the piece first before she decides what she materials she want to make the piece.
