Having discovered the above necklace at the Diana Porter Contemporary Jewellery shop in Bristol, and shortly after, purchasing, I thought it was necessary to branch this blog out into jewellery as an important strand of contemporary design.

Justin Duance is a contemporary jewellery designer based in Newlyn, Cornwall. Operating from a small workshop, the pieces created by Justin and his team are organic, textural, and highly tactile. With wooden elements adding an all important differentiator, in commercial terms, in an overly metallic an disposable age, Justin’s pieces offer a feeling of longevity and natural disposition, something quite appealing to city slickers and countryside dwellers alike.
