Tracing works by Ellis Palmer

Postby kerangoumar » Wed Oct 10, 2007 2:45 pm

I am wondering whether anyone has a brooch-sculpture, ring or necklace by the British jeweller Ellis Palmer (d. 1998) as I am trying to trace the remainder of her works. While there is a book about her, a number of her works still are in the wind. I would like to obtain photos or other documentary evidence about them.

Ms Palmer had a unique style which had echoes in the works of her husband, the pre-eminent wood engraver, Garrick Palmer. She made the unique, large brooch-sculptures out of boiled monkfish bones, silver and gold and gemstones with character.

I have a large pair of leaf earrings by Ellis Palmer. Do you want a picture or information?

I have several pieces of Elis's work which were commissioned by my mother in the 1980s and 9os. They include silver earrings and silver mounted jade and amber pendants.

I have an oxidised silver necklace with sodalite beads made by Ellis Palmer which I bought in 1995 and I would be interested to know more about the maker.

Hi Ellis Palmer taught my mother jewellery making at evening school during the 1970's. I kept in touch as I went to school with her daughtee Emma and knew her two sisters well. Ellis made my wedding ring for me in 1987, which I am happy to say I still wear asI have been married for 25 years now.
If you would like pictures please let me know

While it's good to know that there are at least a couple of pieces of Ellis's work out there, I do wonder how they have become so camera-shy. Any ideas, Trev? (even personal messages have gone for naught - go figure)
