About MeAnn Little studied at Edinburgh College of Art. Here she has interspersed a nylon-coated steel wire with enamelled bobbins, mother-of-pearl and 18 carat gold. She often uses mismatching colours in her one-off, handmade pieces, and encourages wearers to adorn themselves with different combinations of her jewellery.
