“Welcome to my studio, a space where inspiration becomes design. Here, raw metals are transformed into jewellery, and our wild, wonderful landscapes are reflected in a palette of gold, grey, and black…'

Corrinne invites you to discover the work of her studio. To share the alchemy of jewellery making, from sketch to bench. Each piece of Corrinne Eira Evans jewellery is designed with touch and tactility in mind. Fluid chainmail, slinking across the skin. Singular stones set in smooth, polished golds. Handcrafted forms that follow the contours of the body.

Carefully chosen materials and finishes reflect Corrinne’s natural inspiration. Irregular, faceted gemstones tell a story of rugged topography. Oxidised silver, titanium, and golds are layered in a multi-hued landscape.

Craft

Central to Corrinne’s work is enduring quality and heritage craft. Handcrafted in Devon, her contemporary designs are brought to life with artisanal techniques and exacting attention to detail.

Chainmail jewellery is a Corrinne Eira Evans signature. Individual links are woven together in a fabric of metal, simultaneously intricate and sculptural. Every chainmail piece has an irresistible sense of tactility and motion, moving fluidly on and with your body.

Reinvented in contemporary style by Corrinne, this age-old, heritage craft creates wearable works of art pleasing not only to see, but feel.With a background working in the jewellery industry, Corrinne is a well versed repairs & commissioning jeweller. Completing many complex sentimental repairs in all metals and many bespoke commissions. These skills lend themselves to Corrinne’s passion for the environment helping to repair or re-model old jewellery to give them new life and making them last. You can pop into the gallery most days and see her at her jewellers bench at work.

The Landscape

“I’m inspired by Dartmoor, by the ever-changing, mystical landscape that surrounds me.

My work holds echoes of the world I see; shadows, dappled light, wild grasses and shifting skies.”

The Devonshire landscape is the backdrop to Corrinne’s studio and the greatest inspiration for her work. The changeable moods and hues of Dartmoor are reflected in the pieces she creates.

Wild grasses cast dappled shadows on the earth. Golden sunlight pierces brooding clouds. Tempestuous skies shift from blue to grey in a state of beautiful flux. Corrinne sees and absorbs every detail, distilling their essence into her jewellery.

In a transformation of creativity and craft, Corrinne captures the natural world in metal. The movement of wind through grass, the textured layers of stone, soil and sky, the changing colours of the seasons.

Since childhood, Corrinne has found a home for her creative spirit in the untamed, restless moorlands. Fuelling and feeding her creativity, these landscapes become mirrored in her jewellery. On the body, you can feel the soulful connection between designer and inspiration come to life.

If you would like a repair, re-model or to commission a bespoke piece, you can pop into the gallery and speak to Corrinne or contact her through the contact Page.

Working in Single Mine Origin golds, recycled precious metals & responsibly sourced gemstones, Corrinne is also a Fair Trade Registered jeweller & a full member of MAKE Southwest Craft (formerly The Devon Guild of Craftsmen) for quality.

Corrinne also runs all the Jewellery Making workshops at the Gallery including ‘Make Your Own Wedding Rings’.
