Abby Seymour — 'Ludere' Ring in Gold and Sapphire

The Ludere ring is a contemporary study of traditional technique playing with illusion which aimed to flatter gemstones.The rippling pattern and reticulated ridges of texture on this ring catch and reflect light, gleaming and shining, diffusing its bounds. Ludere is a delicate and elegant ring which feels both modern and timeless. 

This design is part of the Oceana collection which captures both the complexity and simplicity of Australia’s seascape. Each piece is an abstraction of marine life, harmoniously balancing intricate organic details with understated beauty.

Abby Seymour’s practice spans jewellery, objects and print. Abby’s practice began as a printmaker, and the nuanced and personal line and dot patterning that characterise her jewellery and ceramics have evolved from this formative background in consideration of surface.

Textural detailing and a distinct language of patterning combine with a subtlety of form in Abby’s works, and through her application to detail and the hand finishing of every piece, she is both conscious of creating a sustainable practice, and also of pushing her artisanal abilities. Working in silver, brass, porcelain and gold for Craft Victoria, Abby’s beautiful pieces are made to combine with any of the other pieces in her range, encouraging personal interpretation and fun.
