Inspired by the tree from the set design of our Das Rheingold production, artist Amanda Coleman began by researching the opera and photos of the set. She chose a twig for the desig n which looked like a miniature tree with a gnarly, textured look and many offshoots. The 100-year-old apple tree in her garden provided the perfect bark with character and texture. Sections of a branch where sent to a company to make a mould so she could cast them into precious metal. Once she had the branches in silver she selected the most pleasing parts, they were resized and soldered earring fittings, thus completing the magical alchemy of tree to jewellery.
