My sculptural and geometric volumes are predominately made in sterling silver with 24 carat gold overlay, fused together using traditional techniques.
Modern architecture plays a very big role in my designs, especially brutalist buildings whose basic but surprisingly complex shapes serve as a point of departure. Vibrant gemstones, carefully chosen for their unique quality and cut, form the central aspect of every piece.
Abstract texture is added revealing the intense colour of the 24ct gold, while contrasting with the gentle and cool shimmer of the silver.
Each and every ring, pair of earrings or cufflinks is entirely handmade using time-honored goldsmiths’ skills, resulting in minimalist, wearable jewels for both women and men.
