Last Sunday, I severed my distal phalanx and almost all of my top finger joint in an accident. A stupid mistake which will prove costly. I had great NHS care and am taking my 1-2% chance of keeping the finger tip. Whatever the outcome I have months of specialist care ahead to get back to a usable digit. It will never look the same. It will be my frakenfinger. So for a while I’m out of the studio and missing the joy of making. I have so many things to make, my head is brimming with designs but patience is a grace I must learn. by @fiftygoldsmiths

So I have spent three glorious days learning Etruscan granulation from Linda Lewin. A glorious way to spend time - making tiny balls fuse without solder! #goldsmithscentre #britishmuseumlondon @linda_lewin @gsmithscentre by @fiftygoldsmiths

The Emily Davison necklace
On July 4, please vote. Your right to do so was hard fought for and many lives were lost, including Emily Davison, aged 40 when she was killed.
Emily Davison was a suffragette. She had been arrested, imprisoned, force fed and released many times before Derby day in 1913.
Davison ran on to the track during the race, possibly to pin the green white and violet colours to the bridle of the King’s horse. The horse struck her and she died from her injuries.
This necklace uses aventurine, garnet, pearl, bone, violet and green crystal, and vintage white and petrol glass beads to create a sparkling, shifting string of colour. Green, white and violet -the colours of the Suffragette movement stood for Give Women Votes.
The clasp and three of the four charms are 1913 George V threepenny bits flush set with cubic zircons making the letters G, W and V on the face of the King. Each head faces towards the horse charm. The king could not unsee the death of Emily Davison for the cause.
It was five years later women over 30 were first allowed to vote. A further ten years passed before women were given the same voting rights as men.
So vote. It’s your right. It’s your duty. by @fiftygoldsmiths
