My name is Jordan Clarke, and I’m a mother, wife and artist – a jewellery designer – based in Toronto, Canada. I work primarily with brass and sterling silver to create bold, elegant and timeless pieces of small batch jewellery. My background in fine art informs my approach to design. Inspired by ancient armour, my current collection of jewellery explores the idea of protective adornment being feminine and elegant. Each piece of jewellery, from the initial sketch to completion, is formed by hand, by me, in my studio. I don’t apply heat to the metal that I work with, so all of the pieces are made using cold connections, which involves a lot of hammering and forming.
