Within this elegant form a metal motif on the diagonal suggest an interlocking, tensile structure which also produces the illusion of an apex or ridge. A way to express my continuing fascination with the tastefulness of guilloche - an underlying, usually regular, as here, pattern made by engraving or casting, is infilled with translucent enamel producing a jewel-like, soft effect. A touch of sculptural sophistication, in navy enamel.
The Simon Carter story began on King’s Road, London in 1985. Simon pursued an interest in vintage clothing and accessories by browsing the stylish shops of Chelsea. Taking inspiration from the vintage accessories he saw, Simon designed a men’s pewter brooch, which he had manufactured and sold successfully to a Chelsea jewellers.
From its modest beginning, the Simon Carter brand grew to include cufflinks and watches. Today the range also includes ties, shirts, suiting, hats, gloves and scarves. Now a globally recognised brand, Simon Carter products are stocked in leading stores around the world.
