Jewellery is more than adornment; it is a relic of history, a whisper from the past, and a reflection of the present. Lucy Folk’s latest collection, ARTEFACT, is a journey through time—an homage to ancient craftsmanship, artisanal traditions, and the symbolic narratives that have transcended generations. This collection is not merely jewellery and garments; it is a portal between eras, a tactile encounter with history, and a celebration of the eternal beauty found in the imperfect and the handmade.
“My approach to this collection mirrors an archaeological process,” says Folk. “I’m constantly foraging, researching, and excavating to create pieces with collective significance.” The result is a deeply personal and poetic collection, where motifs and symbols—stitched, beaded, and enshrined in precious stones—tell forgotten tales while intertwining with Folk’s own lived experiences. Jade pendants embody the ethereal qualities of love and connection, while vino motifs pay tribute to Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and revelry. Each detail dances across textiles, with deep wine-green silk organza and butter silk dupion embroidered in intricate tufting techniques, evoking a sense of timelessness.
Beyond adornment, ARTEFACT is an experience—a collection to be worn, collected, and cherished. It concludes, fittingly, with a sip of Folk’s own limited-release biodynamic wine, a final flourish that encapsulates the spirit of revelry and remembrance. Each piece is an artefact in itself, a wearable memory designed to transcend trends and be treasured across generations.
Lucy Folk’s ARTEFACT is now available exclusively at lucyfolk.com and in Lucy Folk boutiques from March 18, 2025. Become a human artefact—wear history, carry legend, and step into the stories of the past.
