Katrina Alexander designs and makes British contemporary jewellery from her studio workshop in Brighton. Her work consists of sterling silver and gold with semi precious stones and is mainly organic in form. Her influences come from light effects, textures, shapes and random objects. She particularly enjoys working using the art of lost wax carving as it enables a real feeling of being close to the piece due to the intricate carving and sanding of the wax before casting. Currently a number of pieces made this way can be worn in different ways, thereby a pendant becomes a ring, and the piece can also be worn in two different ways to create different looks, thereby creating three pieces from one.

"Jewellery has always played a large part in my life - as a child I was always fascinated by my grandmother and mother's jewels, and as an adult I have always felt undressed without my jewellery. To me a piece of jewellery can provide comfort, make you smile, give you confidence or simply delight you - it becomes a part of you."
