Vanessa Scully grew up in small seaside town in Australia before moving to the big city of London where she currently lives and works with her husband the artist Liam Scully.
With a background in Fine Art, Vanessa’s jewellery line developed out of a love of fashion and dressing up.
Vanessa Scully cites recurring themes in fashion and horror film as a reference for her own designs, which she hand makes from her studio in East London.
The history, colour, shape or material of the button will often determine the nature of the collection.
This is not obviously apparent until a range of unexpected production techniques are coupled with a range of unanticipated materials.
Thus the labors of collecting buttons, fashion magazines and horror films result in jewelry designs which pay homage to the likes of George Romero’s Zombies to Coco Chanel’s Pearls.
By combining raw materials and pop culture with bourgeois values of luxury, Vanessa Scully, Fine Buttons is a compellingly modern jewelry line.
