Olivia Dryden jewellery is a modern take on botanical and taxidermy jewellery. In the latter pieces, Olivia uses mainly sterling silver and recycles pre-deceased animals and birds for their bones. She believe that as artists, "we are fortunate to see the beauty in objects most people do not".
When designing her pieces, the idea that Olivia Dryden jewellery could appeal to people who would normally be shocked by the ideas portrayed inspires her. With the intention to create surprising and lasting objects from the death of such creatures.
