JEWELLERY & WATCHES
This has developed into a deep love and fascination for the natural world . Most importantly I want my jewellery to stay true to the animals that energise it , which means wholeheartedly embracing the weird with the wonderful .”

Vee Ring Teal Stacked Speckled Band
An emerald-eyed Chameleon Ring with a solid gold tongue tipped with a sapphire ‘ fly ’ and a Poison Arrow Frog Pin studded with black spinel offer a glimpse into the workings of the designer ’ s magical mind . Whilst the Seaweed Ring dotted with Australian sapphires and the Double Slink Ring licked with an ombre of sapphires , offer a touch of wild to those with more classic tastes .
“ Vivacious and characterful jewellery reveals aspects of our personalities , sharing unspoken elements of identity with the world .” Clio Saskia creations tell the stories of unexpected species discovered deep under the sea and high up in the jungle canopy .

Being selected as one of 5 participants on the highly respected Setting Out Program 2019-2020 at the Goldsmiths ’ Centre has culminated in the launch of Clio Saskia and a fantastical new collection .
