Cora Sheibani's jewels are the product of a highly active
imagination. Her creations are designed to surprise and delight -
miniature cakes and jellies that look good enough to eat; rings and
bracelets that glow in the dark; shimmering clouds with diamond
raindrops; jewels that stare back at you, and plant pots billowing
with vegetation. Her design handwriting is predicated on a bold
sense of form and colour, allied with a playful, contradictory
mindset. Her design philosophy is to make jewellery she herself
wants to wear and in doing so, she trusts that her customers in
turn will appreciate and value her personal aesthetic. Cora
Sheibani - Jewels is published to mark the 20th anniversary of Cora
Sheibani's eponymous brand.
Written by a member of the last generation of British Colonial
Service Officers in Africa, the book seeks to place both colonial
rulers and their African successors in the context of history and
the circumstances of their time, viewing their achievements and
failures critically but not unsympathetically and comparing
colonial society with that of the independent African country that
Northern Rhodesia has become. Colonialism is viewed at the day to
day level of the administration of a rural district by four
officers and a handful of African district messengers, who worked
together without even a telephone to assist them. With a wealth of
detail that can only come from experience, Granta (TM)s work makes
an important contribution to the understanding of a time, place,
period and practices that are only now being considered in a
balanced way.
