glssnt gives form to this idea — constructed by hand from fine silver and salvaged car and bike reflectors, each ring features a plastic shard gleaned from roadside accidents, or the excess pile of a bike shop in Hackney. In the studio, I polish, pierce and sand each shard, creating settings for them out of 935 sterling silver. These pieces embody an idea of luxury that is localised, sensitive to light, and up-cycled — prompts for a future generation valuing craftswomanship and safety as much as they value environmental responsibility: this is what I hope being from the city means.

What does it mean to be from the city?
