The Goldsmiths' Craftsmanship and Design Awards 2013 Posted: 08 Feb 2013 02:14 AM PST Manasi Ravatia, 2nd year student on the Jewellery & Object BA (Hons), has submitted the first piece of jewellery from the course to the prestigious Goldsmiths' Awards in London. Manasi, who is also student representative for her year group, finished her design in advance of the course's deadline in order to meet the rigorous entry procedures set by the Goldsmiths Company. In response to the 2nd year project Seven deadly sins, seven heavenly virtues, Manasi explains: "This brooch has the theme of 'patience'.  It shows the patience the penguin couple have whilst giving birth, protecting their egg from dropping in the snow and passing it to each other while they feed." The piece is made from an unusual range of materials including sterling silver, layers of laser cut acrylic, porcelain and diamond. Manasi's control over the materials for this piece concluded with setting a diamond into a silver tube measuring just 1 mm in diameter. Well done Manasi!…and good luck!  We'll keep you posted on how she does!
