My jewellery is largely sculptural, I like things with form and texture. I also like to put a little bit of humour into the objects, I prefer jewellery that doesn't take itself too seriously. I mainly work with silver because of its lustre and the way silver changes with age and the wearer. I guess I am intrigued by the way that jewellery interacts with the owner/wearer after it has left my hands, that it takes on another life and could become anything from an heirloom, to discarded.

Hannah Chambers is an emerging Melburnian jeweller.

With a passion for all things hidden secretive and unfound, she aims to create an intimacy between her objects and the wearer.

Being able to create objects that can be worn and that become a tangible part of someone's life is very important to her. It expresses a closeness and familiarity that other art forms do not.

Drawing on influences from all sorts of times, places and cultures, she loves jewellery that has a story to tell.
