A walnut and enamel brooch inspired by an olive branch, featuring a moving enamel ‘olive’ in the centre of the branch. The fixings are made from recycled sterling silver.
The Nurture jewellery collection includes thoughtful designs crafted from sustainable materials; walnut and recycled silver, with vibrant enamelled accents.
Designed and made by the migrant & refugee women of Shelanu Craft Collective, they take inspiration from plants, flowers and insects remembered from the diverse countries they grew up in. Together the pieces embody Shelanu as a community garden that empowers women through unity, creativity and compassion.
Ingeniously moving parts are incorporated into each piece serving as gentle reminders to take a moment for yourself, making them ideal stress relievers throughout the day.
Purchasing an item from the Nurture range becomes an act of self-care and care for others; not only do you raise money for charity, in the wearing you spread a story of migration that reveals skills, creativity and unity of purpose.
The Nurture Collection was created with guidance and support from Birmingham-based artist Rachael Colley.
