Imogen, based in London, studied at Sir
John Cass School Of Art & Design and graduated in 2008. All of her work is designed and made in
the UK. What I loved about her
work is that she thinks outside the ‘jewellery’ box and creates wearable sculptures –
I’m sure you will agree that they could easily be mistaken for a delicate
cluster of rocks, if left on the ground.
Her ‘rockesque’ jewellery has attracted
fans such as Georgia May Jagger,
Uma Thurman, Nicole Scherzinger and Rita Ora. Most recently Belfield’s
jewellery was specially selected for the latest Ridley Scott movie ‘The Counsellor’
and worn by Cameron Diaz. Not only that, she has been named by Vogue Italia as
one if its "VOGUE TALENTS" this season!
It was a true pleasure
to meet this Bohemian beauty recently outside the Royal Opera House and if you
are still wondering on what to get your loved one on next Friday – look no further!!
What do you do and why do you love your
job?
I am a jewellery designer. creating
rockesque jewellery sculptures to adorn the body. each piece is carefully made
by hand in London.
I love what i do because no two days are
the same. there is always an exciting venture and a plethora of new discoveries
around every corner. It is a buzzing industry to work in, and the moments with
which to be inspired are in abundance.
What are your inspirations?
Travel, new adventures, rocks &
minerals. Architecture & natural form combined are my cavanous deviances
into inspirational heaven.
What do you think a persons jewellery says
about the wearer?
I love how experimental, personal,
extrovert & powerful the adornment of jewellery can be. Whether it’s to
express your mood, to suggest a feeling of nostalgia or sentiment; it never
fails to provoke and cause intrigue from the viewer of the wearer and the
emotional connection the wearer has to their jewellery worn. In my view it says
a lot.
Where do you shop?
I am sucker for having a rummage in my dear grandma’s attic. Having spent a large portion of her time between America and Portugal, she has an assortment of vintage dresses, lace and beautifully made fancy dress. In the same way sentiment is found in jewellery, I too find this nugget of sheer delight, by the reincarnation of a piece worn and loved by my grandma, a piece that beholds so many stories, so much history. no shop can really match that.
How would you describe your personal
style?
Eclectic and transient.
I can go from wearing doc martin’s and floral dresses one day, to ripped jeans
and white t’s another. it is primarily mood driven. Actually, this is has to be
another reason I love my job because i am not constrained to corporate dress
and can express myself freely, walking into my studio either a tom boy or a
glamour puss. Theirs is no limit.
What's on your valentines wish list?
London fashion week at the moment. The 14th Feb
I shall be spending at my rock vault exhibition at Somerset house. Technically
counting my boyfriend off the hook for any special valentine surprises!
Five items you can't live without?
1. My driving license; the ability to
drive, explore and seek adventure at the drop of a hat.
2. Doc martins Darcy boots; so comfy you
even bounce when you walk.
3. Ok so something
really vain, but i do love a mud mask, especially the one my brother brought
back from New Zealand. Super natural spa mud to make your face go ping when
it’s feeling tired and abused.
4. A yoga mat; good for stretching, yoga
and Pilates. Being tall and willowy boned, a good ol’ daily stretch is essential.
5. Classic items
passed down to me by my inspirational and uber stylish aunt. Anything from
leather trousers to fuchsia pink silk cardi’s that even wham would be proud of.
