Materials

Every artist has their favourite medium. Joanne works predominately in silver, niobium, and semi-precious stones.

Niobium is a hard grey metal which can be anodised. This means coating the metal with an oxide layer by using a controlled electric current. The oxide layer interacts with light like oil on water, a butterfly's wings, or a hologram. The result is vivid and lasting colours depending on the strength of current and the jeweller's skill.
