Reflection

Reflection is a pair of asymmetric earrings made from repurposed 18ct white gold. The gold is drawn into wire to form the body of the main earring. The larger left earring hooks around the ear, while the right earring is a small stud. A separate drop section can be attached to either earring or slid onto a chain and worn as a pendant. Sapphires and diamonds are grain set and bezel set by hand. The design is inspired by a bird viewing its own reflection in water, and by the contrast between the side that is shown and the side that is kept hidden.

Starry Night

Starry Night is a diamond ring inspired by the swirling sky in the painting The Starry Night by Van Gogh. The spiral shoulder is set with small stones that echo the movement of the painted sky. A 3D pave setting surrounds the center stone with side stones for dynamic light reflection. The center stone is held by four prongs to increase light transmission. Natural diamonds contrast with 18K gold in a cool tone. The modules are joined by mortise and tenon connections, which give a seamless surface and a strong structure. The inner curve of the shank is smooth and rounded for comfortable wear.

Squama

The Squama is part of the Kerf Collection, a series that treats the body as a shifting landscape. Through precise kerf cuts, the silver gains fluidity, bending effortlessly to follow the body's natural topography. Its undulating surface catches and disperses light, creating a luminous gradient that shifts with movement. The interplay of incandescent highlights and satin-finished shadows accentuates the body's form, turning reflection into a living expression of light. The name Squama evokes an allusion to overlapping layers of plates, reflecting light in intricate patterns.

The Golden Viper

The Golden Viper is a pendant designed to hold a ring securely on a necklace. The form is based on a snake, a long-standing symbol of healing. The pendant allows a ring to be stored on the chain when it cannot be worn on the finger, for example by medical staff at work. The ring is guided through the pendant along the chain and looped back into place, so the necklace does not need to be removed. The piece is cast in 18k gold and polished to a high gloss. The inner diameter suits different ring sizes.
