An 18ct gold necklace by contemporary jeweller Paul Preston, composed of spectacle set discs of yellow or white gold, varying sizes and of rough textured finish, joined by short lengths of small circular links with a larger central link and suspending from the front the largest disc, to an 'S' hook clasp; Birmingham hallmarks 1976 and with maker's 'PP' stamp, four further discs with crown and 750 punches, and another with a double chevron in a cushion outline assumed to be an early signature; length 64cm, weight 16.76g Paul Preston was born in 1943, trained as an architect (double first from Oxford Poly, now Oxford Brooks), but soon abandoned that career; and while supporting himself by diving for crayfish and scrap from wrecks off the Cornish coast, became a self-taught craftsman jeweller. He lived with his family in a former nudist camp in Pembrokeshire, and with the alter ego of the Red Mole, created jewellery in precious metals, sometimes alloys of his own invention, and gemstones: one-off, detailed and sometimes emotive pieces inspired by the natural world, the art of Breon O'Casey and craftsmanship of Bernard Leech. He stopped work in 1997 for some years, suffering from clinical depression, but has taken up his unique creative baton again in the last few years; he has exhibited at galleries at home and abroad and his jewellery is in the permanent collection of the V&A (a gold and ruby brooch dated 2007 depicting 'A Charm of Goldfinches'), and his work is currently available in a number of commercial art galleries from Edinburgh to St Ives in Cornwall, including Primavera in Cambridge.
