Collar by Joanna Perera, BA Jewelry Design, Central Saint Martins 2017

A collar created as part of the Central Saint Martins BA Jewelry design project 2017. Supported by Swarovski, students created pieces to the brief of 'Vanishing Worlds', a theme focused on the increasing need and drive towards an awareness of sustainability and responsible practice.

Swarovski are committed to promoting sustainability and conscious design in their collaborations, their support of the Commonwealth Fashion Exchange project has enabled Nest, a charity that works to develop that handworker economy, to invite all the participating artisans to join the Nest Guild organization. Swarovski’s support of the project has also allowed nine designers to realise their creations with upcycled crystal from Swarovski. Swarovski is proud to support this exciting project, which uses fashion as a common language to showcase the power and potential of designers working with artisans from across the 53 countries of the Commonwealth.
