The Link

The idea behind The Link was to use the symbolism of the Moon which is believed to connect people across the globe. This, in combination with the concept of a link, represents being an integrative part of something bigger, a whole, the chain. Both motives are presented in the head shape as well as the shank which is composed of differently sized and positioned Moon shaped links, forming an open, comfort shank. These links simultaneously represent the different phases of the Moon. The designer's intention was to help people feel more connected with people far away through this piece.

Re Form

Re:Form is a jewelry set made of three sliding beads and a chain. Slider beads are normally hidden parts used to adjust the length of necklaces and bracelets. Re:Form turns the slider bead into the main element of the design. Each bead can be placed anywhere along the chain, so the wearer can form a necklace, a bracelet or other arrangements. A 36-inch chain allows more than 120 combinations, while an 18-inch chain allows at least 90. The set invites the wearer to act as a co-creator and supports a simple and lasting style.

The Rose Fountain

The Rose Fountain is a diamond ring inspired by the form of a revolving rose fountain. The design uses a rotary setting technique that places the stones along a curved line that rises like a water column, so the ring can be viewed from all angles. The curved arrangement increases the light return of the stones and makes the central diamond look larger than in a conventional setting. The ring is made of 18-karat white gold and set with diamonds, and a ruby is placed on one side of the ring arm. The ring measures 30 by 15 by 35 millimeters.

Fissure

The structure forms around the gems, creating balanced compositions from seemingly random components. Lost-wax casting, stone setting, metal finishing and black rhodium plating complete each item. The materials are 18K yellow gold, South Sea baroque pearls and white diamonds. Colour contrast highlights the asymmetrical, crisscrossing forms.
