Custom Insects
I’ve always been interested in insects and their strange but fascinating forms! If you are looking for something a little different I can create custom insect pieces in a variety of styles. I make my insects in a few different ways; by sawing out patterns by hand from sheet metal and building up in layers or hand-carving waxes and having them cast. I can also add colour with enamels (depending on the design).
I’ve been making insects now for years and have been drawing them for as long as I can remember! Below are some examples of commissioned works and one-off pieces I’ve made based on bugs.
Custom insects in silver start at around £150 for a two layer insect. I can also make them in base metals (like copper and brass) or other precious metals like gold & platinum (depending on the individual designs). if you are looking for more information on how ordering custom jewellery works the process is similar to that outlined on the ‘bespoke rings’ page of my site. You can also use the form there to get in touch.
