Forget-Me-Not Ring

9ct yellow gold, ruby

Rachel Gorman’s jewellery draws inspiration from the natural world, particularly plants and floral motifs. The concept of ‘the garden’ underpins her work; not only as a space of visual stimuli but as a broader metaphor for the complexities of existence – the cycles of life and death, of beauty and decay. Rachel feels a quiet but persistent desire to create small objects that reflect the experiences one has in nature – the contemplations and revelations, the intricate patterns and details witnessed, the feelings evoked while staring up at the moon, the romance of picking a flower.
