I live by the inspirational words of Henri Matisse: “Creativity takes courage.” Fascinated by the Arts and Nature, I believe that Art and Design can express the beauty of the human soul. But to do so, an artist must be brave and bold enough to show it to the world…

Art is not just a statue or a painting, art is everything created by human intelligence, everything that conveys not just beauty, but a message.

I am not only a Designer, I am a Gemologist passionate about gemstones. I love making the models with my own hands and then sitting at the goldsmith’s bench to make my pieces. 

My jewels are like children to me and I am with them from their inception throughout the entire process, until the final step when I can stare at them and say: “You are perfectly beautiful!”. But then they have to fly out of the nest and live their own lives; they need someone to love and wear them, thus keeping them alive.

My jewels are not just an accessory, but something more that is not influenced by the change of fashion. Each one of them has a strong personality and its own identity and reveals the nature of its owner. My designs aim to reflect a beautiful balance of history, craftsmanship and state-of-the-art techniques. I am firmly dedicated to quality and the creation of unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that are true, wearable pieces of art.
