• I want to freeze-frame beautiful moments. Fascinating moments. Inspirational moments. I am reawakening my visual language into a jewellery collection.

  My concept transcends the constraints of traditional stone setting. I am creating new ways of metal-less mounting.

  I am focusing on the sensation of how a diamond splash would feel on the skin and how the crystals flow on the body. I am exploring the possibilities of glass achieving a perfect splash silhouette. I began thinking about crystal gravity which led to the invention of my new carrier liquid. This liquid simulates the weight of a crystal, therefore allowing them to 'swim' naturally inside of my jewellery pieces. This 'swimming' highlights the maximum reflection of the stones.
