Benjamin Helsby
BA (Hons) Product Design and Craft
My work explores jewellery and how it allows us to hold our loved ones close to us. Jewellery has always been a form of remembrance, the rings I make expand upon this by being objects that are made with a person in mind. They act as a memorial to a loved one by each ring being specifically made for a loved one. No two rings should ever be the same as each person has a different story and a different connection with a loved one. Their ring should reflect that. My rings focus on the intangible connections people have with their loved ones; the feelings that can't be visualised represented through my rings.
