UNIQUE JEWELRY

My aim when making jewelry, as in most of my mature work, is to capture a moment of relationship in nature.
Some pieces (1UNI Kikujido Brooch) have a narrative quality relating to legend or story. Much thought is given to choice of materials and their respective relationship to the overall effect in terms of color, texture, opacity, transparency, etc.
