British jeweller Kate Bajic has over 22 years’ experience exhibiting her work in galleries and at exhibitions throughout the UK, Europe and the USA. Drawing on a lifelong interest in the natural world Kate focuses on botanical forms as her main inspiration, examining and translating aspects into her jewellery using traditional hand fabrication techniques. These include hand chasing patterns and piercing out complex shapes. This gentle and involved approach allows slight imperfections created during the making process to bring richness to her jewellery.
Pieces are handcrafted in sterling silver and gold and often paired with lustrous baroque pearls or striking dendritic agate stones, their naturally occurring patterns and colours partnering her designs perfectly. Jewellery evolves through experimenting with patterns, layering and composition and playing with contrasting colours and forms. Kate creates her jewellery as limited edition or one-off pieces designed to complement each other whilst still being unique and individual.
