Am I a gem?
Stone setting is always a delicate issue. The two "components": the whole object and the stone must be in balance. It's like a relationship. It is important that one does not overwhelm the other and that both maintain their independence. They should highlight differences in form, colour or material, or complement each other. In my new work, I have combined non- or semi-precious stones with stiffened, industrially produced silver chains, which has led me down uncharted paths in this technical process.
