Behind the design
The V&A and 78zin Jewellery Collaboration
The botanical-inspired jewellery pieces were adapted from the silk fabric designs created by Anna Maria Garthwaite in the 1700s. A pioneering female designer in a male-dominated industry, she was one of the major designers of woven silk for London’s thriving Spitalfields silk industry in the mid-18th century. Her delicate drawing and naturalistic floral sprig patterns brought her enduring fame.
‘The V&A's archives are huge, so we had lots of inspiration to choose from and it was just really exciting to be working with such a revered name,’ says 78zin’s Senior Jewellery Buyer, Rebecca Jones.
The V&A and 78zin range includes 10 uniquely crafted pieces with a vintage gold finish, including hammered hoops and embellished drop earrings, two necklace designs, a brooch and a statement bangle.
