Natalie Salisbury is a born maker. Natalie moved to New Zealand from the UK in 2013, and brought her jewellery tools with her. Now she crafts her work in her small workshop in Titahi Bay, Wellington.
Her collections include the romantic and delicate Briar Collection with natural cast twigs that form the base of earrings, pendants and twisting rings. Her Future Artifacts pieces are all completely one-of-a-kind items: wearable works of art and alchemy. Gold dust is fused to the surface of sterling silver. Gems both rough and polished are clutched in organic settings or sparkle from the depths of silver and gold. Rough diamonds are pushed into molten metal, resulting in settings that cannot be replicated any other way.
