Tubules brooches

These brooches are tubular in shape to reflect the microscopic structure of human dentine which consists of many interlinked tubes. The silver has been etched with patterns of etched enamel and dentine, before being hand- formed into tubular shapes.

Tubules bracelet

The bracelet is inspired by the DNA strand and consists of 18 interlinked hand formed tubules which can have been textured to give a frosted appearance.

Tubules earrings

Similar in design to the bracelet but more mobile, with a shorter chain of smaller tubules.
