" I find myself rummaging through my tray of scrap metal and off-cuts, searching for an elusive piece of 0.5mm sheet silver and discover instead the perfect 12mm length of square wire…
My work practice is divided evenly between precision and serendipity; two very different methods of creating for two of my design styles.
Precision plots out every single line; drawn, traced, corrected then delivered where nothing less than accuracy will suffice.
Serendipity allows the materials to talk to me; touching, bending, sampling textures, curves, lines; working with the three dimensional rather than from a drawing.
Surprisingly, both methods feed from each other, fuelling my passion for creating."
Sarah Whitlock is a Sydney based contemporary jeweller working predominantly in sterling silver

You too can own some of these works
Most of the objects and jewellery on this site are available for sale and you can use the PayPal checkout or contact me directly to arrange alternatives. I encourage you to call me at my Studio (or use the Contact page) when you are in Sydney to arrange an appointment to come and look and touch and enjoy as there are more items on display that are not on these pages yet.
Items to be added include bangles, bracelets, cuff-links, music boxes, and tooth fairy boxes. Please visit these pages again to see my updates. I work principally in silver but also in gold, white gold, platinum, and other metals. Being handmade designs I specialise in custom work and made-to-order. I have a wide selection of stones to use as alternatives and sizes can be adjusted to suit you, or your special friend. Chain lengths for pendants are selectable.
