Baobab Tree
Baobab Tree is a jewelry collection in silver that includes a ring, a long station necklace and a bracelet. The main motif is based on the Flower of Life, a geometric pattern of overlapping circles. The pattern is transformed into rounded petals, so the ring shows a large organic flower when worn on the finger. Seen from the side, the same ring forms the image of a baobab tree, also known as the Tree of Life. The motifs were drawn with 3D CAD and then produced by hand with wax modeling and traditional metal craft techniques.

Baobab Tree Jewelry Collection won the Iron A' Design Award in Jewelry Design in 2021. The A' Jewelry Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design prize that recognizes outstanding design of rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, pendants, cufflinks, anklets and more.
