Askew London Teddy Brooch
Posted by: | CommentsDoes any one have information on Jewellery made by Askew London? I believe that this was made by Sue Askew and was made during circa 1980s. The jewellery appears to be vintage in style, there are some wonderful 1920s revival pieces of Egyptian style brooches and necklaces and I also detect Haskel style influences. Other than that her Jewellery appears to be quite collectable fetching high prices on eBay.
Here is a super special Teddy vintage brooch made by Askew London :
Here is a very sweet Teddy Bear brooch which has an articulated head, arms and legs. This teddy brooch is such high quality that you can sit him down like an ornament if you like. Teddy measures almost 4 cms high
Old brooches to new jewels – designer style
Posted by: | Comments
Recently I came across a designer who is re-cycling old brooches into wonderful and wearable new pieces.
Tayler Claudio is a jewelry designer who takes pride in reburbishing vintage items and making them anew. Her inspirations range from broken jewelry to things others consider trash. Often, she will find old brooches that people throw out and revamp them so that others can fall in love with them again. The picures show photos of her work with brooches.
