Spice it Up!

The Spice Girls have re-united, a truly horrifying thought for most of us, although an enterprising young lady Sarah Hood was way ahead of the girls when she created her range of ‘Spice Jewellery’, tiny hand blown glass vials filled with spices just incase you ever get caught short! Sarah works with whole spices, including cardamom pods, fennel seeds, nutmeg and saffron. She says she is constantly surprised and inspired by the completeness and innate elegance of these small natural forms and tries to highlight them effortlessly with the clean lines of silver and glass. These pieces definitely blur the lines between studio, kitchen, and laboratory. I think my favorite is the nutmeg necklace, although the photo here features the mixed spice ensemble.
