The judges selected Hannah Livingston for her ‘exquisitely made jewels that exhibit an interactive and intimate approach.’

Hannah is inspired by photographs that she takes of architecture and antique furniture and there is a sentimental aspect to her work, which features hidden compartments. Hannah is particularly thrilled with the prestige and recognition that this award brings. She hopes to establish her own workshop and use more expensive materials in her work.
