Each posture carries two gemstones of different sizes, calculated to keep both earrings consistent. The figures are modeled with 3D sculpture technology and cast in gold. Facial features and hair are omitted to keep the human form pure.

Coral

Coral is a pair of cufflinks made to hold the cuffs of a shirt together. Many cufflinks are bulky and heavy. Coral instead follows an Italian tradition of simplicity and respect for organic shapes. The open, see-through form gives a light appearance, while the rough inner texture adds contrast. Each cufflink is hand made from sterling silver by lost wax casting. Each piece is polished and plated with platinum or rose gold to keep the shine. The flat, fin-like stem prevents rotation and makes the cufflinks easy to put on and take off.

Homa

Homa is a dual purpose ring that can also be worn as a necklace. The piece is made of 18K gold and set with synthetic blue ruby.

Chiaroscuro

Chiaroscuro is a jewelry collection built from a single link form repeated in many variations. The links are 3D printed in ABS thermoplastic polymer already connected, which gives the pieces light weight and free movement. Selected links are cast in sterling silver, using rubber moulds and waxes taken from the prints. Natural dye and applied crystals add colour and texture on the front and the back, so the earrings can be viewed from all angles. Computer-aided design is joined with traditional silversmith techniques, so every piece begins from the same form yet ends as unique.
