My journey into jewelry making began with a simple truth:

"The only way to truly learn is to spend hundreds of hours at the bench".

Little did I know then that this practice would evolve into something so personal that fundamentally changed the course of my life.

Jewelry making has given me a sense of freedom and self-determination. It's become a very personal practice and my medium of expression, leading me to explore diverse topics and materials, fueling my passion for travel and learning.

I have a profound respect for traditional techniques, the process of creating each piece has become a mindful practice that grounds me in the present, a way to calm my mind and connect deeply with the materials and others.

I embrace the slowness of the craft, finding joy and peace in repetition and the rhythmic movements of shaping metal, setting stones and enameling.

This is why jewelry for me is more than mere adornment, jewelry is filled with romanticism that goes beyond its material form, it holds within stories, emotions and legacies that endure through time both for the maker and the wearer.

Jewelry making is not only a craft, it’s a tradition to be preserved and carried on.

This is also why each piece carries with it the calmness and intention of its creation, a small testament to the meditative power of working with one's hands.
