Based in the quiet Somerset countryside, jewellery designer Sia Taylor brings a poetic, painterly approach to her creations – capturing ephemeral moments in tiny golden forms, enabling them to be worn close to the skin.Sia’s work is shaped by a quiet, hyper-focused sense of looking, an intuitive process that began in childhood and evolved throughout her sculpture training at the Royal College of Art. She found herself driven to capture essence and feeling in her creations, transforming natural sensations into tangible structures.Having long been compelled to make small things, Sia’s interest in the micro peaked while volunteering in a research project in Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Amidst the vast African landscape, she was mesmerised by the delicate beauty of tiny seeds and insects, and it was this that informed her early designs.The hand-melted and hammered dots have since become her signature; embodying a pared-back, elemental beauty that can only be achieved with unwavering focus and imagination.Today, Sia’s practice is slow and organic; looking, thinking, dreaming and drawing, followed by intense periods of technical development. Working with a small team of locally-based artisan jewellers, each element is meticulously handcrafted using traditional techniques. The resulting pieces epitomise understated beauty-wearable works of art that whisper the story of their making. Visit Sia Taylor's WebsiteFollow Sia Taylor on Instagram
