Nadege Honey - The Coral Collection 2024

Handmade, handcrafted

Contrasting colours and delicate details

Teal earrings with tiny red/orange details. Due to the process, no two pairs are the same, making these truly unique. Extremely light and comfortable to wear.

Polymer clay, recycled sterling silver posts & backs.

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.
