Scrimshaw Coin Stud Earrings

Theo Fennell has collaborated on a collection of four one-of-a-kind pearl designs with Central St Martins graduate Tabitha Charlton featuring the ancient technique of scrimshaw.

Theo discovered Tabitha’s final work entitled ‘My World is Your Oyster’ at the Central St Martins’ end of year show in June 2022 and was impressed by her innovative use of scrimshaw: the traditional whalers’ technique of carving artwork into bone or ivory. Tabitha’s jewellery serves as a personal aide-memoire as she engraves her own collection of thoughts and memories onto oyster shells.
