Jewellery by Lotta Osterholm
Researching into older and more unusual forms of jewellery is a passion of mine as well as a primary source of inspiration for me. My heritage is Swedish and we are renowned for our "clean and simple" design which I utilise to modify my inspirational sources into my own design pieces. My favourite pieces are done in Mokume-gane, a beautiful metalsmithing technique from Japan,

 
   
 
   
     
 

Neckpiece in knitted Gold and Palladium wire
The method of fabrication I used for this neckpiece is known as peg knitting, a technique stemming from ancient Greece. Gold wire was knitted over a circle of pegs to give the tubular knitted form and Palladium wire was used to provide an element of contrast.
