"The jewelry of Welsh-born Vivienne Jones is organic in conception, featuring layers of irregular,
cast, and fabricated three dimensional forms, subtle matte surfaces, and implied or real movement. Endlessly intriguing, these small and complex works reward prolonged inspection. Inside a silver cauldron-shaped pendant grows a nest of tiny gold and silver elements, the ingredients of a secret, magic brew. A silver stick pin suggests a royal sceptre, yet sprouts limb-like growths and tiny bits
of gold reminiscent of nascent buds on a branch. None of these associations are explicit; the space
left for the wearer's own interpretations allows these pieces to become truly personal objects."
Barbara Isherwood, Metalsmith Magazine, Fall 1996.
