Nadege Honey - The Bubblegum Collection 2024

Handmade, handcrafted

A fresh & playful collection of delicious colours

The Bubblegum Collection has a limited colour palette of pale pink and red/orange. Circular shapes in various sizes are overlaid on a subtle, more neutral background. The powder pink is a perfect base for the rich, almost red, orange. Thanks to the limited colour palette in contrasting colours, the pattern is strong, without being overwhelming. The fun and random design inspires feelings of happiness and well-being. The bubbles seem to be dancing in the air. The Bubblegum collection is light and airy, as well as feminine.

Perfect for spring and summer this range of jewellery will lift and brighten any outfit. It would certainly not be out of place at the beach, bar or dinner party.

The collection features several designs of earrings in various shapes, stud earrings and an adjustable necklace.

From Nadege:

I am a contemporary Jewellery Designer with a love of strong bright colours. I design and handcraft all my creations. Whilst my designs are bold, they are both uplifting and unique.

I work from my studio in Northampton where I create colourful and quirky jewellery in polymer clay and sterling silver. I am self-taught. Since 2008 I have developed a unique style and refined the various techniques required to create my jewellery. My unique Breton Collection won the Giftware Association’s Award of Excellence in 2021 and was shortlisted as a finalist in the 2022 Gift of the Year awards, receiving the Highly Commended badge.

Design and inspiration

My inspiration is varied. For instance, my distinctive BRETON Collection is inspired by the memories of my childhood holidays spent in Brittany. My love of classic design from various eras is also a strong influence in my work. Fascinated by the Mid-Century and Art Deco styles in particular, some elements of these periods are often echoed in my work. Above all, I create pieces where colour, pattern and texture are centre stage. 

Handmade using modern materials

Two of my favourite steps in the process of creating jewellery are the sketching of a new design and mixing the clay to obtain the exact shade I am after. Polymer clay as a medium allows me to blend striking colours in contrast to the subtle appearance of sterling silver. Every piece of jewellery is made with a focus on quality and attention to detail.
