String in the Tail Bangle

String in the Tail

String in the Tail is a bangle that also serves as a bracelet. The design combines figurative and abstract elements inspired by the movement of the Siamese fighting fish. A three strand string of pearls with a gold bead forms an adjustable catch, so the length can be changed to fit the wrist. The piece is made entirely by hand from reused 18 carat white and yellow gold. Natural yellow diamonds are set against white diamonds, and the pearls rest softly against the skin. Hand carving shapes the flowing fin details.

The Venation Jewelry Collection

The Venation

The Venation is a jewelry collection inspired by the growth patterns of plants. The collection includes earrings and a brooch with irregular outlines and a dense central structure that suggest the texture of natural growth. Streamlined undulations create organic forms and give the pieces a sense of extension. Each piece is designed and printed with 3D technology, then set with diamonds in 9-karat gold. The hollow structure relates the forms to the human body. The diamonds follow the outlines and reflect light along the twisting lines.

Planetary Ring Meteorite Jewelry

Planetary Ring

Planetary Ring is a ring made from meteorite material. The design is inspired by Muonionalusta, an iron meteorite found in Sweden. A miniature bearing, one millimeter in diameter, is set in the center of the meteorite disc, so the disc rotates as the wearer moves, in the manner of a planet. The surface keeps the natural pattern of the iron meteorite, formed by machining and acid etching. The meteorite is left without anti-oxidation plating, so the texture changes over time. The support structure is made of 925 silver and is joined without welding.
