Lola Brooks


Lola Brooks takes an unconventional look
at the conventional subjects of Love and Romance.
 Her work is certainly not conventional in size -
in fact it’s much larger than one would expect.
It’s not conventional in choice of materials -
she takes humble steel then mixes it with gold,
 diamonds and various other gemstones.
It’s not conventional in attitude -
her work makes droll tongue-in-cheek references
to clichés about love and sentimentality.
In fact, everywhere one looks one can see
 roses attached to hearts, and bows attached to hearts,
and hearts attached to hearts.
Why this ardent interest in all things related to romance?
There is a good deal of thought behind this work and
 it’s interesting to get the 'why' of the work
while also enjoying the beauty of it.

Signet Ring

1st Silver piece of work SOLD!!!
The theme for this project was to make our own signet ring, I chose to do polka dots because I wanted to put a young twist on signet rings. I created this ring out of wax which I hand carved and then cast it in sterling silver using the method of last wax casting.
