How many of us doodle whilst we think, or when we are on the phone or even in a meeting? Did it ever cross your mind that your doodlings could be precious? Well, not all of ours will turn out to be works of art but sometimes they are more precious than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Alexander McQueen team, this is exactly what they looked at for the SS20 jewellery collection, the idea of ‘doodling, weaving freely and spontaneously’<\/em> – absent-mindedly scribbling to create one of a kind shapes -but of course taking it a whole load further. Craftsmanship and historical references are always at the heart of a McQueen collection. The collection explores doodles via weaving wires of antique gold and silver, which all have been handmade into unique chokers and bracelets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other elements of the jewellery collection feature a family of pendants. These include drop earrings in an asymmetric red garnet, earrings are woven doodle-like metal hoops, a charm bracelet set that features an oversized droplet of red glass stone. Garnet stone poses similar physical properties of crystal forms, which contrasts beautifully against the tones of antique gold and silver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other doodling-like woven pieces that can be seen are triple bangles, choker, a ring crafted in antique gold with a pearlescent stone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
