ELLIS MHAIRI CAMERON

‘’I create sculptural gold jewellery, inspired by my Scottish heritage. Growing up in the Highlands of Scotland, I fell in love with its' history; the ancient buildings, the rugged sea scape, and the many artefacts and jewellery hoards which have been found buried within the earth.’’ Ellis undertook a Master’s in Jewellery Design at Central Saint Martins in 2017. Upon graduating, with a desire to create jewellery which is organic, yet eminently wearable, Ellis launched her independent fine jewellery brand. Ellis’ work stems from an interest in how our identities are influenced by our specific locations and how this forms social heritage. Throughout history, regardless of country or continent, ancient cultures have adorned their bodies. A focus of her research is exploring the reasoning behind why we wear jewellery and the symbolism and sentiment that a piece of jewellery can hold.
