Design Inspiration

Ambrin is a jewellery designer from Manchester. Her Bee celebrates the suffragette movement, reflects on the history of jewellery, and imagines if Manchester had a set of Crown Jewels, what might they look like? One hundred years ago suffragette jewellery (typically green, purple and white) was worn to display support for the cause. Here, a decorative worker bee guards the city’s ‘Crown Jewels’!
