In a world where high fashion often conflicts with sustainable practices, it's a special pleasure for me to introduce you to my handmade jewelry collection, which is now featured in a cover story for the Berlin-based online magazine KALTBLUT. This collection combines not only exquisite design and creative inspiration, but also a deep connection to nature and respect for our environment.
The philosophy behind my jewelry
For me, handmade jewelry is more than just a trend; it's a passion born from a love of craftsmanship. Each piece is made from 100% recycled sterling silver—a conscious decision that aims to protect our environment while creating unique pieces. By using recycled materials, I not only strive to act sustainably but also to raise awareness that luxury and environmental awareness can go hand in hand.
The connection between humans and the sea
The relationship between humans and the sea is the greatest source of inspiration for my jewelry. The form and aesthetic of my pieces reflect the currents, waves, and fascinating creatures of the underwater world. With each piece of jewelry, I aim to tell a story that celebrates the element of water and its enduring beauty, but also draws attention to the human impact on our marine environment.
The jewelry in detail
In the KALTBLUT cover story, the model is stunningly presented while wearing three outstanding pieces from my collection. The Hippocampus earring combines elements of the fishing industry with characteristics of the seahorse. The earrings tell the story of human exploitation of the ocean.
The Hippocampus Ring is another part of the Solastalgia collection. Solastalgia describes the feeling of losing the comfort of home due to environmental changes beyond one's control. The feeling of homesickness despite still being at home. While the ocean provides comfort and a sense of belonging, the destruction of the marine environment causes distress and a sense of powerlessness. The oil industry, the fishing industry, and plastic pollution are three of the most destructive impacts on our oceans.
The look is rounded off by the meticulously detailed Mutated Medusozoa necklace . This necklace is reminiscent of the elegant forms of jellyfish and pays homage to the hidden beauty of the sea. It not only embodies the character of the Sublime Devastation collection, but also draws all eyes with its extraordinary structure and sparkling details.
My promise: sustainability and craftsmanship
Every piece in my collection is crafted with love and dedication in Berlin. I manage the entire process myself, from ideation to design and craftsmanship. This means I can ensure that each piece of jewelry meets the highest quality standards while being manufactured in an environmentally conscious manner. My goal is to create jewelry that is not only beautiful, but also tells a story and raises awareness of the beauty and challenges of our planet.
I warmly invite you to discover the KALTBLUT cover story and explore my handmade jewelry collection. Each piece is unique, embodying the currents of the sea—a timeless accessory that combines both art and fashion.
