2017 High Street By Design Winners and their inspiration
Jack Fox, aged 8 from Montacute in Somerset
"I was inspired to create my necklace the ’Sparkling Star’ as I am always doing art; drawing and making things out of material. Using the stars in my design I chose as they felt very unique and everlasting, special for people to wear."

Pooja Singh, Over 18's category from Swindon
"The idea behind "The Whispering Lilies' was to make a commercially viable design which is wearable and something which any woman can carry with aplomb. Nature in itself is a huge source of inspiration so I derived my inspiration from the shape and form of the beautiful flower Lily."

Roger Maaraoui, Student Designer from Lebanon
"Strelitzia, also known as bird of paradise, is a flower that has inspired me for a long time. Since I was a child, I used to observe it and explore its beauty. My aim with the Strelitzia collection is to capture the lightness of the flower illustrated through graceful lines and a touch of colour."

Elizabeth Finney, Current Jewellery Designer from Preston
"Inspired by the planet Saturn, the Orbit ring symbolises the way loved ones’ lives revolve around each other. Each white stone represents a moon or family member that interacts with the wearer. I have designed the ring so that the gold coloured settings around each of the stones act as flares of light reflected from the sun. Whilst Saturn’s golden rings are depicted by wires wrapping around the main band and moons, thus showing the connections and commitments between loved ones."
