Little Glass Clementine

Clemmie James is a self taught artist. Her jewellery is a narrative of collected treasure, discarded objects and precious gems. Deeply ingrained in her art is a philosophy to re-use and re-cycle in hope to re-tell a story.

Clemmie collects her material as she wanders through life. A ring from a love affair, a pebble from a Scottish shore, a button from a grandmothers box, gems from India, a single earring, jewels from a charity shop, junk from a boot fair, lace from an antique market, fabric from an old coat, and pearls from the sea. In essence they are a tactile journal of her wandering feet.

Her idea is a simple one, to weave together objects to form exquisite pieces of jewellery that can be worn by the subtle and the daring.

She has exhibited and sold in many shops, galleries and markets, in London and Edinburgh.
