Out of the feeling of longing for warmth and the close relationship to a beloved person and suffering from loneliness, I created these pieces of jewellery.
Rosy Times
Longing for the times when everything is pink and red. LOVE, butterflies in the stomach. Dreaming form closeness and togetherness. All those feelings let me dance through the day. My jewellery makes such moments visible and wearable. They are like an anchor for the good feeling from my memories and make me aware that such times always come back.
