This unique reworked Glucose-d brooch with citrine has been created by talented jeweller Jo Pond, and is being shown as part of our Winter Showcase.
The brooch has been fabricated from a vintage Glaxo tin. Glucose – D was a powder used to treat children and adults with various health issues during world war 2. Jo has created this brooch as part of her collection ‘Rationed’.
This piece, with an essence of the domestic, holds a suspended citrine, balanced with an element from a flower cutter
Jo’s jewellery practice involves the use of found objects, which she uses to tell a new story. She discovered a passion for collecting through her family where hoarding runs in the genes, describing her passion for collecting objects as an ‘inescapable need to hoard’.
Using a metal detector to find forgotten treasures and with her exceptional ability and skill, Jo reworks these found objects back into beautiful pieces of jewellery. Each object is treated with love and care and turned into a necklace, a pair of earrings, a bracelet, each being given a new life, with signs of wear and use taking centre stage. From old pieces of jewellery, tobacco tins and cookware, Jo’s work is a beautiful mix of unloved and unearthed treasures. Jo is also an established fine jeweller and creates beautiful pieces in precious metals and gemstones, many of which can be seen in our Winter Showcase.
The brooch measures 5.6 x 4.5cm and is made from tin, silver and a 8mm trillion citrine.
To see more of Jo’s work and the other designers taking part in our Winter Showcase, we invite you to visit our Clifton Gallery, which is on until 15th January 2027.
