    My collaboration collection with Alys Power is complete! I’ve enjoyed this partnership so much that I didn’t want to stop – we could have kept making things forever.  We were keen that the collection was not entirely wearable but still had some elements of jewellery about it. Some of the pieces are wearable (necklaces, pendants,…
