Who Made This - Melissa Baldock

Why did you become a jeweller?
It started with a love of stones, and a love of making things, so it made sense to learn to set stones in jewellery. What I find amusing is that I do not set many stones any more, I am more interested in the metals and their capabilities.















How would you describe your men’s jewellery range at Lord Coconut and what was its inspiration?
Most of my work is inspired by nature, and my range at Lord Coconut is a reflection of this.





















How would you describe what is on your jewellery bench?
A massive mess! I am terribly messy when I am creating and never put my tools back where they belong… lucky I have a huge space to spread out in!


When not making jewellery what do you love to do?
Spend time with my beautiful family.


Favourite restaurant
With 3 small children… dining out is not a fun option! But if I manage to escape for an evening I certainly don’t mind a meal at Smolt in Salamanca, Hobart.


Favourite movie
I love many movies, I just can't think of a single one to add here.




Favourite travel destination
Thailand, because the locals are such beautiful people.


Favourite band
Afro Celt Sound System


Favourite book
The Old Man And The Sea – Ernest Hemingway


Favourite art work
Devil Whale – Jen Lobo


Favourite building
(other than my own home) would probably have to be the Sedlec Ossuary

The making of FOSSIL by Beth Croce of Bioperspective

Beth Croce contributed FOSSIL to the Charles T Fairthorne Travelling Collection of Natural History Curiosities exhibition which is on now until 10 Dec.



This piece is inspired by tangible legacies of prehistoric times, diamonds and dinosaur fossils, whose inauspicious beginnings are dull carbon and decaying bodies. Forces of heat, time and pressure can transform ancient detritus into valuable objects. Likewise heat and centrifugal force were used to transform the hand carved wax model for this piece into solid sterling silver. The 37 diamonds set along its backbone melds the fossil and the gem as representatives of the endurance of objects of beauty.

Fossil
$3600 GST inclusive
2011
Sterling silver, cognac diamonds & volcanic obsidian base
18cm L x 10cm H x 10cm W

This wonderful piece would make an ideal 40th birthday gift, 50th birthday gift idea, gift ideas for men or a present for boyfriend.
