Bronze Age Gold from Wales

Ring

Dick, Lexi (Lexi Dick was born in London and trained in three dimensional art at Ravensbourne College of Art and Design and then at the Royal College of Art under Professor Robert Goodden and Professor Gerald Benney where her discipline was jewellery design. She is a Liveryman of the Goldsmiths' Company. Her speciality is detailed wax modelling in three dimensions, often of animals. This has led to a number of commissions including a series of camel salts for the Grocers' Company, a bowl for the 1922 Committee to present the Rt. Hon. The Baroness Thatcher to commemorate her ten years as Prime Minister, a large salver representing the six days of the Creation for Lichfield Cathedral and a mint dispenser for the Mercers' Company in the form of a 17th century float drawn by horses and a bowl and goblets for the Ironmongers' Company with flames and salamanders. In 1995 Lexi Dick was commissioned by the Goldsmiths' Company to design and make the Prime Warden's travelling badge. Lexi Dick has a workshop studio in Shoreditch and produces a range of reasonably priced silver jewellery.)

Ring, silver, circular; attached to the band is a silver duck.
