Imogen Belfield AW12 ‘The Gladiator Collection’
Imogen Belfield is widely considered to be one of the top, up and coming jewellery talents that London has seen in recent years. Imogen Belfield’s hand crafted work represents many hours of careful thought and inspiration.
The AW12 ‘Gladiator’ collection is inspired by the Ancient Greek and Roman idea of the Olympics and Champions, with each piece in the collection named after Greek mythological characters from the Odyssey and Iliad.
Pieces include a dramatic ‘Aphrodite’ neckpiece; a ‘Zeus’ nugget charm necklace; ‘Odysseus and ‘Achilles’ bangles; and ‘Paris’ and ‘Iris’ earrings. Each piece can be made in Sterling silver, 22ct yellow gold, rose gold and silver plated bronze.
The pieces are created to look like medals, using a Helix style repetition of form. This repetition connects with the core inspiration of Imogen’s collections which is rooted in minerals and natural stones taking the concept of natural minerals into a scientific form.
As a jewellery graduate from the Sir John Cass School of Art, Media & Design at The London Metropolitan University, Imogen’s work has won awards from the British Jewellery Association, The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths and South Square Trust alike, exhibiting at the Islington Design Centre, the Structure and Function Gallery in Soho, Coutts London Jewellery week and London Fashion Week amongst others.
