RETICULATION
A technique using the combination of applying heat and quenching in cold to produce wrinkles, folds and creases on the surface of metal, almost like you have been in the bath too long and your fingers have gone prunie. The metal catches the light and twinkles as though covered in crystals. A sophisticated but simple look that suits both men and women.
WHO, WHAT & WHY
My name is Anna and I run a company called Annakin Silver and I love designing, making and selling silver and gold jewellery. So, that’s the who, what and why, now the next big question....
WHY AM I WRITING A BLOG?
Well, for a few reasons, firstly, my children told me to, secondly, because it makes sense to have a space where I can talk about my life, my work and how I view the world. Thirdly, because someone out there might be interested in what I have to say.
WHAT DO I HOPE TO GAIN FROM THIS BLOG?
My family have had a tradition of when things need to be said and I mean really said then they write a letter. Whether it is to express love, thanks, concern, to confirm a decision, to broach a tricky subject or in one case to discuss the birds and bees. This blog will be no different. I can talk about what inspires me, teach what I think you’ll find interesting, talk about life in the jewellery world and the many highs and lows of working for myself, at home, trying to do it all.
