Alice Menter launched her own jewellery label in April 2011 and is already a favourite with the fashion press for her intricate, statement jewellery. Her bold silver and gold plated designs have an eye-catching industrial edge as she combines everyday objects such as bolts, washers and zips with luxurious suede, lycra and chain. Inspired by the time she spent with the Yao Mien hill tribe in Northern Thailand, Alice likes to explore the boundaries between jewellery, clothing and adornment. Alice was shortlisted for New Designer of the Year at the UK Jewellery Awards 2012.
