If, like us, you loved watching the first series of All That Glitters then you would have seen the judge, Solange Azagury-Partridge. We sat down with the jewellery designer, to find out more about her and her journey that led her to become a judge on the show<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Describe your style of jewellery in three words<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Exuberant, Feminine, Emotional<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How did you get into jewellery making?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After a language degree, I worked with an early 20th century jewellery dealer and historian where I developed my love and passion for jewellery, my eye and a very clear aesthetic and while there, I designed my first piece of jewellery which was my engagement ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you could offer someone starting out jewellery making a piece of advice, what would it be?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Have a very clearly defined point of view and style. It\u2019s what will make you stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What has been your favourite commission?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Creating a Disney version of one of my Metamorphosis pieces for a client. So extravagant! I had to receive permission form the Disney Corporation to use their character<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Can you give us a little sneak peek on what are you working on right now?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be pleased to know, Cooksongold, that it\u2019s a gold collection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Where do you get your inspiration?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Books, fiction, science, history. I like to combine words and\/or a concept with jewellery techniques, old and new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What did you learn from being in the show?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Accepting a loss of control. We were putty in the hands of the director and producers. With twenty hours of film reduced to only 1 hour, it meant that each episode was as much of a surprise to watch for us as well as the viewers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Can you tell us a little on what your fellow judge, Shaun, and presenter, Katherine, were like?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shaun is adorable, respectful and collaborative. Very knowledgeable and nurturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katherine is a scream. A mile a minute, non stop, funny and intelligent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What was your favourite make in the show?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed seeing how they handled the design for diamond engagement ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamara\u2019s bravery in her treatment of the setting process was impressive and I thought Sonny\u2019s ring looked fantastic and original .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many thanks to Solange for taking the time to talk to us, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for her<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":18965,"template":"","categories":[1790],"tags":[1937,1896],"class_list":["post-18964","inspiration","type-inspiration","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-inspiration","tag-all-that-glitters","tag-cooksongold-meets"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\r\nCooksongold Meets...
