ENTWINE COLLECTION WOODLAND COLLECTION NATURAL COLLECTION SOLID COLLECTION VINTAGE COLLECTION

The Silver Phoenix Woodland Collection of jewellery is unique. It is not easy to craft and takes time, patience and a true affinity with nature. There is a very special reason for the inspiration behind the Woodland Collection and that is CrystalWood. We are in the process of purchasing our very own piece of native broadleaf British woodland in East Sussex and we want to open a Forest School to help children and adults learn about nature and be able to enjoy being in the woodland at the same time. Woodland is a vital part of our biodiversity and protecting mature native trees will really help. The text appearing and disappearing into this beautiful background image is intentional as we sometimes have to take a closer look to notice the beauty of our surroundings... 10% of all Woodland Collection sales are going to the CrystalWood fund so we can start our journey toward setting up an official charity, running Forest Schools and purchasing more native British Woodland to cherish and keep safe.

WOODLAND COLLECTION This collection is truly unique. Most pieces here are sold but contact me if you want to know what's currently in stock. See more Silver Phoenix Studio jewellery at Another Green World in Tintagel, Cornwall http://www.peterpracownik.com/ Instead of making jewellery look like bark and leaves I decided to use ACTUAL wood, bark, leaves and other items found in nature. It has taken a long time to work out a way to make these beautiful pieces hard-wearing, without compromising the integrity of the materials I am using. Not all pieces of bark and vine can be made into a piece of jewellery but those that can have yielded beautiful results. More pieces wil be added whenever I can find suitable bark and woodland treasures. These pieces are beautiful to wear and feel soft and smooth against the skin. Having a piece of nature close to you connects you with the Native British Woodland and it's flora and fauna.

TOTALLY NATURAL This range is truly unique and it takes time to forage and select woodland material. All that is used here is picked up from the ground or the vines untangled from the trees to let them breathe as Japanese Honeysuckle is not native to this country and is a problem for trees, much as ivy can strangle and kill them so we are doing the trees a favour by removing it. Finding bark, leaves, vines and other material that will actually work as jewellery is the real challenge. Some bits don't want to comply and I ask permission (important if you are taking from nature) before I start on a new piece. I adore making this range and hope it is appreciated and loved as much by those who choose to own and wear it.
