I was very moved when I first saw her work. Her creations have an incredible presence, they are « alive », changing and moving with the angle of view! Refined details, complex structures come together in a fusion of high tech processes and masterful craftsmanship.
Her influences are eclectic, blending Belle Epoque refinement and architectural elements, Flemish Primitives whom she admires for their focus on intricate detail and vibrant colour, and touches of Maharajah splendor.
And, of course, the use of delicate natural pearls, magnificent and colourful spinels and other carefully selected gemstones is also part of her signature.
Her unique approach to jewellery design has earned her recognition in the industry and her creations are highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs. Her work is regularly featured in the most prestigious exhibitions and written about. Bibliography: Coveted / "Art and Innovation in High Jewellery" Melanie Grant/ Phaidon
