The Designer 

Emily Kidson is a contemporary jeweller exploring shape and form through precious materials. Sensitive use of colour is central to her work and is the backdrop to a minimal, modern aesthetic with areas of intricate detail. Old industrial buildings are particular influences, from tapered chimneys to water towers. Emily has come back to making after a career as an art librarian. Her use of laminate started when she discovered it as samples in the Materials Collection at Central Saint Martins library in 2013.

Working with 100% recycled silver and gold, Emily is known for combining these with colourful laminate. At times she also uses wood, paint, precious stones and Keum Boo to add extra details. Laminate is paper and resin formed under extremely high pressure. Emily uses the brand Formica which you may be used to seeing on table tops and kitchens. It can have quite a mid-century modern feel, has a wonderful matt finish and the colour doesn’t fade.
