Metaphor and Movement

Metaphor and movement

Walker says that her jewellery is not only sentimental to her as a maker, but they also, become sentimental to the wearer as her customers often purchase her jewellery as they serve as reminders of emotional events in people’s lives. Customers may purchase a flower pendant of the same species of flowers that they had at their weddings to act as reminders of their special day (Victoria Walker Jewellery, 2017). Walkers pieces have a precious quality to them, not just because they are made with precious metals but because they create a sense of sentimentality when the beauty, that is kept hidden inside the closed flower locket, is suddenly and surprisingly revealed when opened to an unsuspecting eye (Walker, n.d.). Walker creates "the idea that sometimes the most precious and treasured elements are hidden beneath the surface " creating a beautiful metaphor that describes the human soul (Walker, n.d.).
