ABOUT THIS COLLECTION:
Until the Daybreak serves as a narrative tribute to Daisy Hooper, a lady whose personal belongings Jessica found at a flea market, hidden within a 1950s handbag. Jessica’s collection is inspired by the “functional concealment”, which led to the discovery of Daisy’s story, and the objects within her life:
“At a Sunday morning antiques market I came across a 1950s handbag filled with photographs, identity cards, birth certificates, stamps, tickets and other personal documents belonging to a woman named Daisy Hooper. The handbag was an emotive time capsule; I was inspired to tell a story about Daisy through some of the objects that were personal to her. Assuming that one of the photographs depicted Daisy’s bedroom, I created jewellery that would inhabit and interact with the objects shown within the image: A bangle hidden in a picture frame and a ring within antique light switch casing. The jewellery not only exists within the objects, but is also designed to be protected by them. Each piece is provided with a bespoke home and, in turn, a cunning means to fool a burglar. Daisy’s belongings inspired new creations, which carry memories of the past. I hope that in years to come, these pieces will become heirlooms in their own right.”

From light switch rings in their cases and bayonet fitting rings in bulbs, to doily bangles presented within frames, this collection of bespoke pieces is largely available by commission only.
