The Jo Verity Collection:<\/p>\n
Ochre & Ocre have teamed up with the very talented jeweller, Jo Verity, to produce a gorgeous new range of napkin rings that complement the Ochre & Ocre table linens.
\nJo has designed and made the napkin rings using her unique paper beads, which she makes individually by hand.<\/p>\n
Paper bead rolling was a traditional craft, which was popular at the turn of the 19th century. Victorian ladies used scraps of wall paper to hand roll beads, which they then strung to form room dividers.<\/p>\n
Today, Jo uses speciality origami and hand printed papers, which she combines with semi precious stones, glass beads and silver; as they are all individually made each piece is unique.<\/p>\n
Colour is a strong part of all Jo\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s designs, making her work ideal to team with the Ochre earthy shades; the inspiration for her designs comes from a variety of sources, including historical and eastern influences.<\/p>\n
Jo said of her technique, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153By using hand rolled beads to create my pieces, I feel that I am helping to preserve a small piece of our rich cultural past, by giving Victorian craft a modern twist\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n
These unique napkin rings will be the perfect conversation piece at any dinner party and will harmonise perfectly with any of the Ochre colours.
\nPriced at \u00c2\u00a328 for a set of 2.<\/p>\n
