Guided by ritual, romance, and the occult symbolism of the tarot, the pieces act as wearable reliquaries and memento mori, made to adorn with, carry Spirit, and bode well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e37aa92cdad377a5756616c/7e7cef44-3b10-441a-bbed-728eb6c17873/BodeWell_1065.jpg Bode Well Naasicaa Jade Larsen The day my Bestamore died (dad’s mother), I was carrying the silver spoon she had gifted me as a baby. As a child I was sure that it had a ruby set in its hilt, it seemed like a mythical object of luxury and protection. This object travelled through life with me and in my hand it is a link to her. As small objects often do, it holds meaning beyond its form. My four Bode Well objects are symbols of my grandparents tidings for me : Wisdom, Play, Beauty, Intention https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e37aa92cdad377a5756616c/debdbdb2-eed5-477b-b12b-c823b04fc1d6/BodeWell_1057.jpg Bode Well Emma Megannety These jewels are shaped by rituals of gifting and by the women who taught me what they mean. My mum, my aunts and I have built our own traditions of giving, from sea swims and tea on the beach to the seaweed baths in Strandhill, Co. Sligo. These pieces draw their form from the soft air pockets of knotted wrack, a seaweed of Ireland’s northwest coast. Gentle, buoyant and protective, they are a tribute to the women I love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e37aa92cdad377a5756616c/958532d2-71df-4e48-a336-4d57eb9b380b/BodeWell_1141.jpg Bode Well Fiona Simmons It all starts with cats. One Maneki-Neko, travel-sized for the car, raises its left paw to invite good relationships. Another, made by Naasicaa in the likeness of my cat Chino, raises its right paw for prosperity, its note wishing me abundance in all its forms. Abundance led me to the Satin Bowerbird, a fellow collector of small blue things. Micro mosaic is laborious and fussy, but meditative. For the first time, I made a ring for myself: a nest of gold holding a bi-colour yellow sapphire, diamonds and one hidden blue sapphire, as the Bowerbird adorns his bower. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e37aa92cdad377a5756616c/a40615e6-1311-458f-9ebf-21f62c2f7088/BodeWell_1098+1.jpg Bode Well Julia Storey This collection began with a gift: a pearl shell from Karla, holding four blister pearls set by nature into its wall, some nestling in, others caught mid-escape. Four, like my family. For this work I turned to twin pearls, collected over years for their unusual forms. Each pair grew together inside the shell, merged yet still defined, blurring where one ends and the next begins. The comet became my guide, with sapphires holding its depth so the pearls glow against them. Luminous forms reflecting one another, they speak of lives that intersect and shine brighter for it https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e37aa92cdad377a5756616c/56227a95-f5a0-408d-a4d5-76d832671c72/BodeWell_1037.jpg Bode Well Kim Victoria Fiona’s gift was a mosaic key, with a note about the spaces I have helped shape for loved ones. It spurred notions of interiority, and most of these rings have literal interior chambers. Each piece grows outward from the stone, sketched granule by granule in three dimensions, then carved, engraved and traced by hand once cast. The Iridel ring conceals a cubic zirconia chosen for its refraction. Lift it to your eye and the room sparkles with rainbows. A small moment of wonder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e37aa92cdad377a5756616c/dcb9f3e8-ae30-4c2e-a987-f2e8a6051255/BodeWell_1084.jpg Bode Well Karla Way Beginning with a gift from Kim, a deck of Minchiate Fiorentine cards, a joyous throwback to learning engraving in Florence. Its suit of cups prompted me to revisit the concept of jewellery as vessel. Certain cards became companions at the bench, materialising as vessels for how we carry, keep, let go and call back the people and places we love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e37aa92cdad377a5756616c/eb1b14f6-d7f4-436d-b177-0920a88f5eec/Untitled-2.jpg
