Amy Burton, from antique jewelry to modern design, focusing on volume and color.
In the jewelry world (and not only) a wind of fresh air is always good. The novelty is called Amy Burton, but she’s not a nerd of jewelery. She is actually a new designer, but she has breathed all his life in the atmosphere of the jewelry. Her family business is called Hancocks, and is a historical company that deals to buy and sell antique jewels and which was bought by the Burtons in 1992. She, Amy, started through the shelves and drawers of jewelry before studying and graduating in diamond grading and gemology at the Gemmological Association in London. But what good is the study if it is not put into practice? So the designer began to buy unique gemstones. Then, he thought about how to use them. As? With unusual jewelry, but wearable. New, but not extravagant. Two examples: the Disorient collection is characterized by strong geometric lines, volumes and colors. Even using only gold, the shapes are often surprising. With stones, like a big amethyst from 123.70 carats, the jewelry is very exceptional. The Crescendo collection, however, it revolves around the idea of color and shades. Stones put together with different nuances strong, but delicate, is a unique pleasure, as in the great necklace with tourmaline, garnet and amethyst cut in pan form of sugar and matched.
