Ferns, Ivy, Oak, and Ginkgo leaves, seed pods and acorns all feature in the silver and gold designs, lovingly hand made by artist jeweller, Stephen Roper, in his studio, at Simcha Gallery, on the balcony level at Leeds Corn Exchange. Nature’s beautiful forms and textures are evoked using traditional metalsmithing techniques to make rings, bracelets, pendants and earings in his signature style, free flowing, and organic designs.
