Buy a Unique Piece of Fine Jewellery Inspired by Hastings Landmarks at a Discounted Price and Raise Money for Hastings Pier in the Process – Deadline Sunday 25th September 2011
Two Pendants Designed by Local Fine Jeweller Jane Runchman are to be Exhibited at Hastings Museum and Art Gallery and Will Then Raise Money for Hastings Pier
The pieces have been designed as part of the forthcoming Rooms For Ideas exhibition at Hastings Museum and Art Gallery curated by The Line Up… which will run from November 2011 to January 2012 (http://www.hmag.org.uk/calendar/default.aspx?event=9281).
Bespoke goldsmith Jane Runchman was fascinated by the history of Hastings Pier and St.Leonards Bathing Pool as well loved landmarks in our local history. After interviewing people who used to use the Bathing Pool and overhearing many conversations after the fire on Hastings Pier in October 2010 it was clear how well loved both places were and how many fond memories they had created for those who were lucky enough to have used them. Both had been special places of social gathering which elevated peoples’ experience of our Sussex coastline. The two pendants she has designed are a result of these conversations and try to convey the precious places they were – and can be again in the case of Hastings Pier.
Both pieces of jewellery are unique and will be handmade in London’s Hatton Garden using fine materials; 18 carat gold, diamonds, emeralds, rubellite and aquamarine. The piece inspired by St.Leonards Bathing Pool is being offered for sale now at a discounted price of £2,750 (retail value £3,600) to supporters of Hastings Pier and will raise money for both pieces to be made. The piece inspired by Hastings Pier will be sold after the exhibition to raise money for The Hastings Pier and White Rock Trust. Please find drawings and details of both pieces in the PDFS below.
