Charlotte De Syllas (born 1946), Damascus Steel bracelet 1960's, fine gold and silver inlay, shown on Charlotte De Syllas website https://www.charlottedesyllas.com/damascus-steel-bracelet-1960s Creating one-off commissioned jewellery since 1966, Charlotte De Syllas has produced a portfolio of great originality and distinction. Each piece evolves from her own free designs to reflect the client’s individuality through an intricate combination of finely carved gemstone and precious metal. Her designs are characterised by flowing lines and brilliant colours, yet their sculptural elegance often masks an intrinsic complexity of structure. This is achieved through the ingenious, and highly innovative, three-dimensional approach that Charlotte De Syllas brings to the art of jewellery making. In 1963, at Hornsey College of Art, Charlotte De Syllas enrolled on a new and innovative jewellery making course, recently established by the pioneering and hugely influential jeweller, Gerda Flӧckinger, CBE (b.1927). One of the first students to graduate, De Syllas' jewellery caught the attention of Graham Hughes, who purchased her entire body of student work for The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths Collection. Hughes served as Art Director of The Goldsmiths' Company between 1951-1981 and actively promoted the work of British avant-garde jewellers. The 'International Exhibition of Modern Jewellery, 1890-1960' held at Goldsmiths' Hall under his leadership in 1961, marked a watershed moment for British jewellery design and the industry at large.
