Artist's Note
Artist's Note
Samphire grows where little else will — salt marshes, sea cliffs, shingle — where it's jointed stems swell with brine. Emily has reflected on these branching segmented forms, and their metaphor for resilience, and complemented them with natural sapphires and diamonds.
The 'Shallows' samphire contains natural sapphires from Montana, their pale blues and greens recalling clear water over sand, with accent diamonds.
Our Sapphires
Our Sapphires
The sapphires in this piece naturally formed approximately 150—300 million years ago. Each stone has a unique and unrepeatable colour palette, caused by trace elements surrounding the sapphire crystal as it was formed. As a result, each individual piece is unique, with subtle colour variation in the stones. All of our stones are responsibly sourced with strict human rights and environmental due diligence on trusted, reputable suppliers. They are set by hand in West Cornwall.
Our Diamonds
Our Diamonds
The diamonds in this piece naturally formed approximately 1—3.5 billion years ago in the Earth's mantle. They rose to the surface over millions of years to be sourced from South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia, in compliance with the Kimberley Certification Process. All of our stones are responsibly sourced with strict human rights and environmental due diligence on trusted, reputable suppliers. They are set by hand in West Cornwall.
