THE ARTIST

I do not approach jewellery as design in the conventional sense. I have never been able to sit at a table and decide to “design a piece.” The work does not begin that way for me.

Ideas arrive much earlier — quietly, often unexpectedly. Sometimes they come while I am thinking about something entirely unrelated. Sometimes they stay with me for days, repeating themselves until I can no longer ignore them. Only when an idea feels complete in my mind do I sit down to sketch. By then, the piece already exists — the drawing is simply its first visible form.

Jewellery has always occupied my thoughts, not as adornment, but as presence. I am drawn to the weight a piece carries — emotional, visual, and physical. I think constantly about form, balance, restraint, and permanence. About how light moves through a diamond, and how that movement can change with the slightest shift in structure.

Inspiration does not come from trends or seasons. It comes from observation — from architecture, from proportion, from silence, from the way something holds space without demanding attention. I am interested in jewellery that reveals itself slowly, not instantly.

The act of making is intensive. Each piece takes as long as it needs. Some come together over weeks, others over months, and some remain unresolved for years before they find their final form. I am comfortable with that waiting. I believe time is an essential material — just as important as stone or metal.

I work closely with every stage of creation, refining and reworking until the piece feels inevitable — as though it could not have existed in any other way. I do not believe in repetition. No two pieces are ever the same, because no moment of creation is ever the same.

What I create is deeply personal, but never impulsive. Every piece must earn its existence. Only then does it leave the studio.

This is how I work. This is how the pieces come to life!
