SHOW GUIDE
P KRISTINA FERENCHUK
Gold Nebula Ring
Before doing BA Jewellery course at Central Saint Martin’s, I did a BA in Management at University of
Lausanne in Switzerland. I have always experienced a need to make and create which I definitely inherited
from my mother and my BA in Jewellery Design at CSM really helped me to develop my own style and way
of working. All my pieces are handcrafted by me, because I love making and working with precious materials.
Through making of my own work, I am able to technically develop moving parts and mechan isms. This opens
up many more possibilities for future designs. I experience a personal satisfaction when I am able to oversee the
whole process of design development to the final outcome and most importantly get a tangible result that has
weight, meaning and future life
My jewellery is a romantic interpretation of the universe. I am particularly interested in the fact that everything
in the universe is interconnected and continuously changing. All the pieces are articulated and move in an
interconnected manner. Whether the pieces are on or off the body, I want to engage the wearer in the magical
process of playful creation of their own interpretation of the piece. I want the wearer to experience the pieces,
spark curiosity and

Q LEANNE YAU
Custard Cream medal casted into silver, decorated
with a polyester ribbon and Swarovski crystals
Leanne is a graduate of Central St Martins. As a
Chinese student born in Britain, my perspective as
a young designer has come to appreciate the clash
and harmony between the two cultures and how
they have affected me as a citizen. My focal point
has always been my curiosity of what it means to
be considered a British citizen, therefore I like to
use the stereotypical objects of the two and add my
playful, creative outlook onto them -causing them
to become more valuable than they should be. My
collections has a playful yet powerful outcome of
difference between the two cultures I live by.

surfaces characterizes handmade pieces of jewelry from the Manu

specialized trade. This jewelry manufactory from Germany augments
its successful collection this year by introducing new filigreed models
featuring delicate and arcing shapes accentuated by little brilliants.
