Great Blue Hole
Great Blue Hole is a necklace inspired by the marine sinkhole of the same name in Belize. The design translates a large natural landscape into a wearable sculptural form. Layered metal components are raised on wires of varying lengths to create dimensional volume and depth. Sawing, casting, enameling, stone setting, chasing and repousse were used to build the forms and surface textures. The necklace measures 130 mm in width, 15 mm in depth and 75 mm in height, with a pearl string of 450 mm. Movement of the body shifts light across the layers.

The A' Jewelry Design Award is a highly prestigious international design competition that recognizes excellent design of rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, pendants, cufflinks, anklets and more.
