Designer biography:

I have liked jewellery since I have known myself. So much in fact that I tried swallowing my first one when I was two. Back then, my mom managed to stop me. Some fifty years later, I created my first jewellery. Another ring with a coloured stone, definitely not the same ring. And the first handmade jewellery that I was proud of, I gave it to my mom. What I did in the meantime is less relevant. I feel like I wasted time. But I have always liked jewellery. What is important is what I have been doing since I started making jewellery, and this is what I want to be judged for.

Collection concept:

Fragility

Most of the time, fragility is not of the jewel but the one who wears it.

You need courage to own a jewel.

You thus show your own fragility.
