I am delighted to have won the Goldsmith’s GC DC Gold Award for the 2D ‘Make Your Mark’ 2021 Competition. The brief was to design an item of jewellery, smallwork or silverware that promotes, enhances and celebrates the London Hallmark.

The hallmark prides itself on commemorating events and highlighting heritage. This set is designed to do exactly that. It is a series of five silver shots, where each shot represents the five different components of the hallmark itself.

The hallmark components are represented by the gold plated scored and folded hollow sleeves that mimic each 2D component in a 3D way.

On the reverse, each base is hand engraved with a mirror image of each hallmark element. This is designed to mimic the base style of a punch whilst nodding to ‘Making Your Own Mark’. Once the shots have been drunk, they lie on their side, hence the name, ‘Punch Drunk’.
