Artist Statement: The Galaxy Collection depicts the night sky. The Galaxy Satellite ring features a black river pearl, surrounded by silver triangles, stylized into irregular stars. Although the ring may appear to be non-wearable, the triangles were carefully arranged to complement the shape of the hand - this ring was designed to be worn on the right hand.

Artist Bio: I have been a jeweler for over 20 years. After a start in fine jewelry, I quickly found my passion for art jewelry, winning several awards for my designs and techniques. With the label "unexpected jewelry", I attempt to break the rules of "ordinary" jewelry and of the expected. Each piece is an experiment in pushing the boundaries of the craft and attempting to re-invent what jewelry can be. At the same time, I want to stay true to my roots in traditional goldsmithing, using established materials - gold, sterling silver, precious stones – and techniques. I am attracted to a contemporary aesthetic, inspired by modern architecture, geometric shapes, and stylized versions of nature.
