Miri Damer
Following a foundation course at Chelsea Art College and a degree in sculpture, Mirri's work was selected for the New Contemporaries Award ‘89 and has been exhibited at ICA London, Cornerhouse Manchester and other leading galleries.
After a change in direction and scale, Mirri took an extended studies course at Sir John Cass, London, and she began working as a jeweller.
Now located in Cornwall, Mirri’s work is influenced by the surroundings she has grown to love.
"My jewellery has a strong sculptural feel and is very much designed by an on-going, organic process. Many pieces have moving parts that jingle, tickle and sparkle, and are there to be played with. I am inspired by the beauty and edginess I see in my surroundings."
Protect
Get those marigolds out! Detergents are harmful to jewellery so it’s best to de-bling before you start those household chores.
Skinny dipping is the best advice when it comes to jewellery. Chlorine, salt water and fresh water will damage your precious gems and metals.
As you pop on your climbing boots, please pop off your rocks! It simply isn’t advisable to wear your precious metals and gemstones for outdoor pursuits or indoor DIY.
We know you love glamour, but please complete your beauty regime before you adorn yourself in Element jewellery. Perfume, hair spray, make-up and other beautifying products simply don’t mix well with jewellery. They can tarnish silver or cause gold, platinum and gemstones to lose their lustre.
Store
Jewellery likes to be wrapped up safely in a soft cloth or acid-free tissue, and on its own, so that it doesn’t become scratched or damaged by other pieces.
When it’s ‘off duty’ Element jewellery loves to be cosseted in one of our very own stylish black boxes, or eco-friendly felt pouches.
Clean
We all look beautiful after a good old wash and brush up and jewellery is no exception! A good professional clean by a jeweller will help you and your precious baubles stay together longer.
Regular home cleaning will also keep your rocks sparkling; a very mild soap and water solution along with a soft brush is the best option for most jewellery. After a sumptuous bath carefully dry your precious jewels with a lint free towel or cloth.
