About John & Dawn Field
John & Dawn Field, based in Yorkshire, have been successfully exhibiting and selling their jewellery in prestigious craft centres and art galleries nationwide for over 20 years. They have developed a number of ranges of jewellery, working both together and individually.
With a shared passion for making things and being creative, the recurring themes in their jewellery are asymmetry, contrasting metals and richly coloured gemstones. In their Asymmetrical range, stencils, designed by both John & Dawn, are rolled into silver then rather than making matching partners, one earring will have a vividly coloured stone and the other will have some brass decoration. Natural colours and materials feature prominently and the pieces can incorporate materials as diverse as exotic hardwoods, bone, fish leather, shagreen and precious metals, together with precious and semi-precious stones.
Many of the pieces are hand carved using a dental laboratory drill. This is a laborious process of attrition and it may take days or weeks to finish a single piece. Their aim is to produce intriguing designs and often one piece of jewellery will open up to reveal another. Alternatively the jewellery may be displayed on its own stand or concealed in its own box.
