• Starting from the bead’s touch on the skin, this collection aims to rethink the classical pearl necklace. Trough an exploration of the so familiar and simple, yet perfect spherical shape of the bead in relation to the body’s surface, it plays with the tactile experience of wearing jewellery, triggering a heightened awareness of the body.
