Liv Luttrell’s Autumn collection emphasises offbeat placements and clean, streamlined silhouettes inspired by the abstract beauty of the natural world.
Liv Luttrell’s autumn 2022 collection features the launch of seven new Editions to her series of fine jewellery designs. Each of these new designs is a product of Liv’s creative process, abstracting and simplifying forms until they reach a point of balance. They signify the development of Liv’s signature style, combining bold forms, flowing lines, and a carefully developed lightness and elegance.
“In this series of Editions, I explore working the gold to give it the flow and lightness of fabric curving around the body. Textures of the brightest diamonds and satin hand-textured gold add light and shade and bring a changing plain to the eyes,” Liv explains. A pair of gold and diamond earrings beautifully showcases this technique, with marquise diamonds meticulously placed to accentuate the feeling of movement.
Creating a sense of motion was central to the development of this new series. The gemstones and diamonds sourced by Liv are meticulously placed to enhance this dynamic quality. “My goldsmith manipulates the metal by hand to realise the movement in the pieces. It takes real skill to create a curve that seems to flow like water when in reality the work has created a powerful tension in the metal. This contrast is interesting to me,” she adds.
Celebrating the handmade nature of each piece is always at the core of Liv’s work. All the sculptural forms in this series are created by hand by Liv’s team of craftsmen in her London workshops using 100% recycled gold and ethically sourced diamonds.
