	NICOLA BECCI My work is really an exploration of decoration using many sources of inspiration, the main ones being the rich symbolism of the Catholic Church, the trappings of royalty, playing cards and chess, calligraphy and the language of symbolism. Food and confectionary are the source for some of my most recent pieces.

	KELVIN BIRK Accomplished jeweller, Kelvin J. Birk has developed an intriguing collection of work where valuable gemstones are ruthlessly crushed and then reconstructed to create dynamic jewellery and objects.Consciously disregarding what is traditionally considered precious, Birk revels in a lack of control, allows chaos to take over and the nature of the precious materials to dictate the final outcome of the pieces.
	LEAH BLACK Leah creates delicate pieces, examining both relationship between object and memory, and the language and symbolism of giving and receiving flowers. From intricately detailed monuments in miniature to organically formed claws holding clusters of gems, Leah's work is compelling and unique.
