Cherry stones
Necklace in enameled copper.
At first
glance, the necklace looks as if it is fashioned from delicate shells
but the beautiful jewellery has been created out of cherrystones that
have been burnished and polished. Enamel
makes the jewel colorful.
Cherry stones
Bracelet in natural cherrystones with copper and pearls.
Small holes have been cut into the top of the natural stones, revealing small pearls or precious beads then placed inside.
Cherry stones
Ring in enameled silver and nylonthread.
Ginger
Brooch in copper with stones.
Looking like
a simple root, GINGER is much more,
it´s
an unique condiment for exotic dishes.
The
GINGER root also creates an amazing amount of different forms.
The
brooch and necklace symbolize sisters and brothers with different characters,
belonging to a broad series of jewellery made from one natural piece of
ginger root, in different materials (copper/silver/gold etc) and with
a variety of surface treatment.

Avocado
"In my country of birth, the fruit of the avocadoplant is used in many ways. I was surprised over the size of the stone which contains no more genetic information than an apple seed. So the inside of the avocade made me curious and I began to make jewelry from it. The slices of the avocado stone are transformed in colour according to light influence and temperature. When dry the stone, slices fall apart and can be knotted to rings.
