larger-than-life. In the case of jewelry

The award-winning jeweler received her Bachelor of Arts in Jewelry
Design from Middlesex University, and
she is a member of the British Society of
Enamellers. Ball also takes time to
teach others about enameling techniques that include cloisonné and champlevé.
“I am captivated by the alchemy of color and versatility of

“I believe jewelry has many roles. To me one of the main functions I find
important is the fact that jewelry has the power to embody sentiment.
I interpret natural forms and colors linked to the seasons,

xoxo.
My aesthetic is very art based. I take a painterly approach to enameling
underpins which I think provides an elegant sense of beauty to my work.”
