Clare Bridge’s work is inspired by the intrinsic forms, textures, and colours found in her coastal environment; first in Maine, now in Nova Scotia. Inherent in her designs are elements that echo ancient Norse shapes and symbols. Organic in style, her jewelry reflects the connection between land and sea.
Working with silver and gold, Clare hand-forges the fine metals, creating unique textures. Colours are created by fusing enamel onto the silver. The oxidation process is the final step; warming the silver’s tone, and enhancing the hammer’s hallmarks. Clare designs and fabricates each piece of jewelry by hand, creating functional wearable art, which celebrates an individual’s uniqueness.
