THE MAKER
Frances McKinnel makes her silver belt buckles in a remote spot in Devon, surrounded by a thick ring of oak trees.
THE MAKING
Each of Frances’ solid, sterling silver pieces bears the hallmark of the London Assay Office and are made completely by hand with traditional tools.
Frances says, “I think there is elegance in ‘form and function’. If a thing works really well and is made of the right material, it usually looks beautiful.”
