The GOODS from Cavalier

Vancouver, BC | NZ jewellery designer Alexandra Dodds studied Fine Arts before launching her jewellery line in 2011. Being self taught, her unique aesthetic was derived through direct experimentation with materials and studying goldsmith manuals. She has brought together her fine arts background, her love of casting and carving, and her craftsmanship to create one of a kind pieces of jewellery ranging from simple textured pieces to hand-engulfing four finger knuckledusters.

Her debut fine collection launching at Cavalier this week, just in time for Valentine’s Day, uses her signature molten metal forms in white, rose and yellow gold, combined with the rich colours and beautiful cuts of fine gemstones. This collection, which will be exclusively available at Cavalier, echos the forms of lava, lichen, rocks and fossils, combined with a love for the rich complex forms of the Baroque period. “I have had frequent requests for non-traditional engagement and wedding rings. Wedding and engagement rings are forever pieces, so I had to slightly refine my style while keeping true to my aesthetic.. (everyone needs a four finger knuckleduster but I guess it isn’t really an everyday-forever piece).” Learn more about Cavalier after the jump…
