Ever wondered what jewellery made from everyday objects like spoons and forks would like? Well these items are what inspire Kenyan jewellery artist Njee Muturi, who takes and turns them into exceptional wearable pieces of jewellery, that have captured the imagination of collectors. Looking at the way Njee bends the cutlery, see how the fork ends curl into flourishes; I can’t help but be reminded of Uri Geller the man who made his name bending spoons and other objects made of metal. Trained in the US Njee also learned elements of jewellery making from his grandfather and with all these influences has been creating jewellery for over a decade. The etched patterns and what looks like an oxidising technique gives the jewellery an antique look enhancing its value.

…so surreal, makes for engaging conversation pieces
