RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Traditionally, jewellers have created static pieces for thousands of years. By adding movement to the jewellery I allow our pieces to come alive, inspired by the beauty of magic and nature. As a jeweller, my concept is to find ways to introduce kinetic effects and hidden secrets that are a unique joy to own.
CHALLENGE: The number one challenge is to combine the design of the piece with its technical side while maintaining it lightweight, wearable and ergonomic.
