This is a pair of spring-inspired brooches, designed in a flat geometric style with two layers forming a petal motif. They are crafted to evoke nature when worn. Featuring irregular gemstones in a uniform color, specifically pink spinel, reflecting the romantic hues of spring. Wearable in multiple combinations, the collection includes 18K white gold, 5.724cts of pink spinel, and 0.376cts of diamonds, totaling 14.345g.
Mandarinfish is a unisex pendant made of 18k gold. The design is inspired by the mandarin fish, a species admired in several cultures as a symbol of harmony, happiness and lasting bonds. Sapphires, emeralds and diamonds in different colors and shades recreate the bright patterns of the fish body. Curved fins and an arching tail suggest fluid motion. The piece is modeled in three dimensions, then printed, cast, polished and plated, and the many small stones are placed by micro-setting. Mandarinfish can also be worn as a brooch.
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 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.
Morphknock presents a reinterpretation of the classic door knocker in a modular, wearable format. Referencing traditional architectural forms, the piece incorporates arch shaped structure and a central bar for balance. Rotating stones such as malachite, lapis lazuli, and black onyx reflect surface qualities found in aged materials. Designed to shift between a necklace, bracelet, or ring, it includes a reversible leather strap and metal components shaped with geometric precision.
The Golden Sunflower is a statement ring with a flower-shaped design featuring an Amethyst crafted in yellow and white gold. The design was inspired by natural flowers. The artist wanted to create a flower-like ring without prongs. Instead, the little petals were used to hold the central stone. Each one of the petals was individually installed and had a diamond set in it. The petals of the ring appear to be emerging from the flower, creating a realistic and elegant design. Because of the by-pass shank style, the leaves help to complete the shank to provide a comfortable fit.
A band ring in 18Kt yellow gold and white diamonds, inspired by the timeless elegance of medieval jewelry with clean geometric lines. Now reinterpreted with a modern touch, its deconstructed design creates a light, airy effect, allowing light to pass through and enhance the brilliance of the diamonds, the true protagonists of the composition. Perfect for both men and women, it is a refined alternative to the traditional wedding band. Customizable with engravings on the outer surface with a phrase, a motto, initials, or an acronym to make this symbol of style and eternal elegance truly unique.
Crafted from ethically sourced materials, this unique jewelry collection raises awareness about land subsidence. The uneven copper exterior mimics the Earth's cracked surface, while brass layers symbolize the impact reaching the core. This ergonomic design, reminiscent of geological formations, visually represents the varying soil strata, serving as a stark reminder of human activity's consequences. The collection empowers wearers to become conscious consumers and advocates for a more sustainable future.
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.
Love Eternity is a pair of earrings designed to express the enduring nature of love. Each earring consists of two parts, a bezel holding a ruby and a spiral drop element. The bezel has a channel from which the spiral hangs, allowing a pendulum motion when worn. Alternating rows of diamonds and gold form two strands that wind into one and flow in a spiral course. The earrings are made from 14K solid yellow gold, two round lab-grown rubies of 3 millimeters each and about 558 round diamonds. Production included computer modeling, 3D printing, lost-wax casting and stone setting.
Modo Snap Hinge is an eyeglasses frame built with a screwless hinge system. The hinge joins the frame front to the temples by pressure alone, without screws or welding. Only three parts are used: a beta-titanium temple with a hook shape, a small stainless steel cylinder with bi-conical heads, and an injection molded polymer front with an internal undercut cavity. The cylinder is held in the front and allows smooth friction rotation. The mechanism is hidden inside the end piece, which keeps the frame simple and clean.
The Power of Pastry is a collection of interactive paper jewelry kits. The collection includes rings, bracelets and brooches, inspired by the making processes and structures of pastries. Each piece is folded directly from one prepared paper sheet, so no glue is needed. A recorded guide video explains every folding step. The kits are offered at different levels, from simple rings to more complex brooches. The paper is laser cut and engraved, and is left blank so that each user can add a personal style. The collection shows that jewelry need not rely on precious materials.
