In my first jewellery series since graduating, I continued to explore Fine Jewellery and how I could improve their existence by applying mechanism to their shapes. these rings are made with sterling silver and are prototypes for the size adjusting rings that follow in the F/W2025 collection

The Mechanoia collection by Carraic explores a suppressed fear of mechanisms, using harsh, phobia-evoking shapes to make this emotion relatable and tangible. Each piece transforms unsettling mechanical forms into wearable art, an attempt to confront and overcome those fears. This visceral approach blends raw emotion with Carraic’s expertise in mechanical design, creating jewelry that resonates on a psychological level. Through Mechanoia, Carraic offers more than just accessories—each piece is a journey into the subconscious, where fear becomes form, and vulnerability finds expression in metal.

In this collection, Carraic reimagined and appropriated jewellery into a medium for designing instruments of clothing repair. I never wanted to hide the damage, but I wanted to reduce further damage, so that the holes and tears can be worn noticeably with pride.
His garments bear the scars of wear. The shoes are unpaired, the vest is torn and discarded and the jacket has lost is functioning hardware, no stitches have been made in time.
In truth, metal is not always a convenient medium to use on cloth. It has the tendency to tear through the fibres in a destructive manner which creates a sense of impermanence for any improvements made. Thus, the act of repairing cloth with jewellery must become an absurd endeavour.

In The KLINK subcollection, Carraic repurposes a hem-repair mechanism originally designed for Kaine Ballard's unfinished jackets, transforming it into fine jewelry for necks and wrists. By detaching the mechanism from its garment context, KLINKpieces retain a raw, utilitarian feel, with some pieces still showing traces of stitching. This approach brings the functional aesthetics of garment repair into jewelry, blending industrial design with personal adornment.

Arthur Boyd’s AW24 collection, Barflies, debuted at Reference Point, A Library, Bookshop, and Bar in the city of London. Inspired by the 20th-century café culture this location represents, Boyd transformed the space with candles, jazz, and character-driven models who embodied the melancholic spirit of artistic drifters.
Together, we collaborated to create unique brass and silver hooks for the shirts and jackets and skirts in his collection, adding a bespoke touch to his neo-classical designs.
