"I started to make jewels to wear my self.
I use simple rules in simple ways to do simple jewels.
The concept min. is an aesthetic attitude, an invitation to observe the small, to appreciate details and see what is hidden.
Since I started making jewellery, I have been working on the relationship between the jewel and me, on what my needs are at the time of wearing a jewel: comfort, privacy, simplicity and subtlety.
It's possible to repeat my jewels, I did it, I do it, I will do it, but always I try to introduce a new variant, as a mathematic equation, introducing different numbers, combinations, ways or what I feel in the moment doing it. Anyway, if I will try to repeat exactly the same I will never get it. I like to think that the jewels have lifes and grow with me also in a concrete moment, with different atmosphere."
