Justin's silver and gold contemporary jewellery is deeply influenced by
the surrounding countryside and ocean. He is especially fascinated by the way they engage with
each other, constantly conflicting, whilst paradoxically achieving a harmonic balance. The gold and silver
jewellery that Justin produces uses the contrast between the textures of the land and
sea. He does this by combining wood with gold and silver to give the piece an elemental feel, or by
texturing the metal in a way that creates a feeling of organic movement. This culminates in
contemporary gold and silver pieces of jewellery, which change with wear in much the same way as the sea shapes the coastlines
of Cornwall.
Contemporary Silver Jewellery
Justin Duance designs and creates his contemporary jewellery using a stylishly
understated combination of silver or gold and non-precious materials,
such as wood and resin. Justin Duance is a young designer, based in Newlyn, in Cornwall. He hand crafts each silver or gold
piece from his workshop in Newlyn, overlooking the sea. The wood in Justin's gold and silver contemporary
jewellery will change over time and with wear making each piece entirely
unique and personal to the wearer. Each contemporary piece, whether made with gold or silver,
is hallmarked and has Justin Duance's makers mark, so you can be sure of the
content, purity and quality of the gold and silver involved.
