“I love exploring unconventional ways to set gemstones, finding ways to blur the line between the stone and the metal. I want them to feel like one cohesive piece rather than metal just being a support for the stone. Instead of the metal simply serving the gemstone, I want both to take center stage, working together as equals.”
Her works invites viewers to explore the subtle changes within gemstones and the dynamic interplay between metal and light.
The settings have been restructured beyond the traditional approach by integrating architectural structures that reflect the unique characteristics of each gemstone. The minimalist mortise-andtenon structure uses tension to maximize the display of the stones’ internal features and aesthetic beauty. This setting method allows the gemstones to float delicately between the fingers, enhancing the wearer’s experience of the interaction between the stones and light.
