Jewellery enhances one’s style and clay jewelry market has
been booming over the years. To create
a unique jewellery piece requires craftsmanship and aesthetics. Mary
Koshy is one such jewellery designer who has all these qualities. I came across
her designs and I found it to be fresh, elegant and earthy. Mary was is UK and recently moved to Oman and over the years
she has juggled from hand embroidery, metal embossing, crochet and pencil
sketching till she found her true calling, which is jewellery designing. She was
trained under a French designer in UK and her experiments on clay continued as
she added her style to her pieces.
Here is what Mary had to share regarding her inspiration to
start her own collection
"Creativity
and art has always been part of daily life in my family, but my passion for
making jewellery started when I moved to Jersey, UK. Jersey is a small island
brimming with flowers throughout the year, this was my initial inspiration as
you can see from my range. Nature has always been my inspiration. I
was intrigued by the endless possibilities of polymer clay jewellery.
Any colour or combination no matter how complex, can be formed
to meet any taste.
Perfection
in work, variation in designs and modern styles are the main reasons
why my jewellery stands out among others. The range of
influences makes sure my pieces remain unique. Perfection, is the motto of my
work, where each and every bead is hand crafted with full of
passion.
When
ordering through my website or my face book page, each customer has
the option to customise their jewellery to meet their taste. I prefer
custom work, as polymer clay jewellery looks elegant with
matching colour attire. Each and every bead is hand crafted,
with the accessories chosen specifically to match – no expense and time is
spared!
Having
just moved to Muscat, the surroundings and environment is very different to
Jersey, and my new collection has reflected this. Currently I am designing
some African and Indian inspired jewellery, as well as some unique
flower combinations."
