Meet the Designers - Devon Stewart

(Please note that Devon is no longer a designer with The Ndau Collection but has left to start his own business!)

Recently, top young jewellery designer Devon Stewart has been up from South Africa checking out the Ndau factory and we're all hoping he'll be back to take up a designer post. There is already some of his amazing work instore, so without further words, here's some pictures of this very talented Zimbabwean designer's work...
 
 
  

Devon Stewart works with platinum, 22k, 18k, 14k, and 9k both yellow and white gold, silver and copper as well as contemporary materials such as resin, wood, horn and shell to put together these intricate pieces. Currently, he is completing a jewellery apprenticeship and exhibiting his jewellery at the 2010 Cape Town Fashion Week. He also recently exhibited at the 2010 Design Indaba, where his work was overwhelmingly well received and has shown at a number of South African art galleries. He describes himself as a perfectionist, a highly motivated and ambitious worker, with strong emphasis on technique and skill. What I can add is that I long to own these peacock feather earrings..
Adding this incredible talent into the already fantastic mix at Ndau can only lead to amazing things – here’s watching this space!
