Aurelia Yeomans — 'Crystal Molecule' Necklace

Inspired by the exquisite micro geometry of ice crystals, this delicate Crystal Molecule pendant is made in the shape of a hexagon - the starting point from which all snowflakes form. A true wonder of nature. Handcrafted in partially oxidised matte sterling silver with a rich purple amethyst gemstone at its heart, surrounded by hammered detailing and a solid 9kt yellow gold loop. The front of the hexagon is rubbed back to reveal a light silver to highlight the stone and detailed markings of the design.

Aurelia Yeomans is a jeweller based in Melbourne. Her practice is informed by nature and a fascination with metamorphosis and phenomena. Inspired by raw geologic forms, intricate crystalline structures, and the exquisite geometries of nature, her works elegantly unveil stories of the earth. Through a conceptual and considered design language, her pieces celebrate the unique characteristics of natural material such as coloured and included diamonds and precious gems, together with her unorthodox and distinctive approach to enamelling steel that has won her international recognition.

Yeomans' work has been exhibited extensively in Australia, Europe, and the USA including a significant commission for the National Gallery of Victoria. She has undertaken formal training in goldsmithing and design in Germany, as well as completing a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) in Gold and Silversmithing at RMIT University, Melbourne.
