Vicki Ambery-Smith combines fine quality of craftsmanship with detailed observation of architecture. She makes jewellery and silverware that have a personal connection with the wearer or dining room.
Her pieces include trompe l’oeil or manipulation of proportion to achieve her desired effect. Many designs are drawn from far and wide – ancient Greece to contemporary Europe and America, and recently, for her exhibition at the Ashmolean – a group of pieces based on famous iconic landmarks in Oxford. Some pieces are designed to reflect her interest for a specific place while other commissions are based on a building of significance to a client. Vicki has exhibited widely in Britain, America, Japan and Australia.

Three spice boxes based on Pigeonniers from the vineyards of the Tarn region of France. They are made in scored & folded photo-etched silver sheet. The roofs lift off to form the box lids, which are red gold plated.
