Love Door Necklace

Love Door

The Door of One's Heart is a necklace made of 18K gold, diamonds and enamel. The pendant is formed of two layers shaped like doors.

The necklace can be worn in two forms, each with its own appearance and meaning. The design uses simplified lines to express the idea of opening the door of the heart.

Noble Perfumer Scented Cufflinks

Noble Perfumer

Noble Perfumer is a pair of scented cufflinks designed for men's formal wear. Each cufflink holds a small piece of polished raw wood inside a stainless steel case in silver colour. Perfume is sprayed or dropped onto the wood, and hollow patterns on the cover allow the scent to spread. The cover opens with a magnet closure, so the wood can be refilled or replaced when another fragrance is preferred. The scent lasts one to two days. Because perfume is not sprayed on the shirt, stains and mixed scents are avoided. Both the cover and the wood can be custom made.

Baobab Tree Jewelry Collection

Baobab Tree

Baobab Tree is a jewelry collection in silver that includes a ring, a long station necklace and a bracelet. The main motif is based on the Flower of Life, a geometric pattern of overlapping circles. The pattern is transformed into rounded petals, so the ring shows a large organic flower when worn on the finger. Seen from the side, the same ring forms the image of a baobab tree, also known as the Tree of Life. The motifs were drawn with 3D CAD and then produced by hand with wax modeling and traditional metal craft techniques.

Sunset Sunrise Ring

Sunset Sunrise

Sunset Sunrise is a ring inspired by the changing light of sunrise and sunset. The ring has two parts, a rigid main body with a fixed half torus and a movable half torus, joined by a hidden screw.

The movement can be stopped at any point, so the ring can be worn fully open, partially open or fully closed, and each position creates a new expression. Sunset Sunrise is handcrafted from 925 sterling silver with a high polished finish.

Spatial Structural Ring

Spatial is a two finger ring designed for everyday wear. The ring is made of 18k gold plated brass and is set with blue and white druzy.

Faster Than Light Pendant and Earrings

Faster Than Light

The Faster Than Light jewellery set renders the speed and acceleration through still pieces of metal jewellery. The concept is visualised through carefully calculated geometry of the shapes and fine engravings. The design is inspired by the ever increasing speed of life, from inventions to technology to human interactions. As per the theory of relativity, when objects, structures and particles accelerate towards the speed of light, they get smaller, their masses grow, and finally they collapse into a single point. Beyond that point, when the speed gets faster than light, the unknown begins...

The materials are 18K yellow gold, South Sea baroque pearls and white diamonds. Colour contrast highlights the asymmetrical, crisscrossing forms.
