Today, the path I’m on fits me like a glove—but I never set out to become a jeweller. It all happened slowly, as I searched for a way to express myself during a time of intense change and loss. One day, walking beside a pristine Alpine lake, I was struck by the debris washed up on the shore. Upset by what I saw, I created a necklace from it.
Jewellery has always been part of my world. My father loved stones and once gave me a tumbling machine to polish them. I’d play with my mother’s gold jewels (when she wasn’t home), inventing stories and pretending to be a saviour. When my father remarried a jeweller, I found myself drawn into that world—taking courses over many years, though never with the desire to become a jeweller myself.
Years later when living in London, I combined one of my own collected stones with metal wire to create a jewel just for me. When friends—and friends of friends—started asking for my ring, my path was set. Still, it took years of experimenting and plenty of doubt before I wanted to call myself a maker at all. Driven by curiosity, I kept working on finding my own voice and developing a technique to call my own, just in case.
Now, I create one-of-a-kind pieces guided by knowledge, but mostly by instinct and mood. Sometimes bold, sometimes subtle, but always with a unique character. Each jewel is sculpted by my hands in a way that feels right to me. Over time, I’ve developed my own techniques, wanting my work to look and feel different—especially after seeing so much jewellery and so many makers in my lifetime.
I’m still learning, still exploring. I became known for my statement rings with stones, but lately I’ve picked up my contemporary work again, leading to jewellery exhibitions in 2024, which opened new doors, and in 2025, I was honoured to win three awards during the Venice Biennale Design Week. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me next.
