Shimara Carlow
Shimara Carlow was born in Ireland and trained at Glasgow School of Art. She has recently relocated to Australia. A childhood fascination for collecting shells, stones, mermaids purses', feathers and pods found along the sea shore has been the inspiration for her work. Her jewellery is very tactile and organic and has been inspired by natural forms, primarily seedpods. Collections include "Daisy", Acorn Cup", " Acorn Cup Wrap" and "Silver Acorn Cup Wrap". These pieces are constructed from individual acorn cup and daisy units assembled to create both large and small scale pieces of jewellery. The cups are assembled to hang in long articulated chains or set in to intricate wire structures that adorn the body. Her silver and 18 carat gold ‘wrap' rings include precious stones such as diamonds, pink sapphire, aquamarine and pink and green tourmaline. Shimara sells her jewellery nationally and internationally through a selection of galleries, shops, fairs and to commission.
