WHY F&L LOVE
Maria Thompson
In the heart of Greenwich, I found Maria Thompson – the owner of Maree, London, a growing brand of designer jewellery. We met over a cup of tea one afternoon in her studio and she told me about her engagement ring commissions and her collections.
F was hooked by Maria’s interest in manipulating metal into shapes that challenge expectations of the material’s physical limits. Her style is based on the forms that arise from bending and twisting metal wires. It is almost as if the gold or silver has a life of its own that Maria teases out from the inner soul of the precious metal.
