Listening Aid (blue ripples)
Joy BC Listening Aid (blue ripples), 2025 18 kt 750 gold, 950 platinum, 0.94 ct natural sapphire and Tahitian pearl pendant 5 x 1,2 x 0,2 cm Unique Make it Yours ♥ This body of work is dedicated to listening and becoming a better listener. Active listening is a communication technique that requires the listener to understand, interpret and evaluate what they hear. The ability to listen actively can improve personal relationships through conflicts, strengthening cooperation and fostering understanding. People often are not listening attentively. They may be distracted, thinking about other things, or about what they are going to say next. The latter case is true in conflict or disagreement. Active listening is a structured way of listening and responding to others, focusing on the speaker. Suspending one’s own frame of reference, suspending judgement and avoiding internal activities are important to be fully attuned to the speaker. I feel it is also important to actively listen to our environments and nature around us. This particular ‘Listening Aid’ is with a pearl and about the sea as an archetype of the unconscious. This pearl has a natural formation that is akin to water ripples. ‘The sea is the favourite symbol […]

Talisman III
Michele Oka Doner Talisman III , ©2010/2025 Bronze, 18 kt yellow gold, diamond pendant and handmade chain Pendant 3.1 x 2 cm Chain: Module 4.7 cm; thickness 0.22 cm Edition 1 of 8 + 2AP Signed Make it Yours ♥ Talisman III (©2010/2025): A pendant in bronze, 18 kt yellow gold, and diamonds, accompanied by a handmade necklace, in a limited edition of 8 plus 2 artist proofs. This piece harks back to ancient practices of wearing talismans, imbuing it with a sense of protection and connection to the earth. The collection is an homage to “The Botanic Age”—a time long before the Stone Age, when plants and trees were central to human development and creativity. Dr. Dean Falk’s research at Florida State University positions this era as the true cradle of civilisation, where botanic inventions like woven baskets shaped our cognitive and cultural evolution long before we wielded stone tools. Drawn from Oka Doner’s profound connection to the natural world and human history, her designs serve as spiritual meditations of this era, reflecting a time when humans were stewards of the earth rather than its masters. Her message resonates powerfully in today’s world as we face the consequences of […]

Néoptolème
Sophia Vari Néoptolème 2014 Thassos white marble, Belgium black marble, onyx, silver patinated pendant with chain 12.3 x 7.4 cm (chain 40 cm long) Unique and signed Make it Yours ♥ Sophia Vari’s “portable sculptures”, as she likes to call them, first became part of the artist’s body of work 30 years ago; at a time in her life when demanding international schedule kept her constantly on the move. While travelling, she carried with her a small box of plasticine, from which she would mould miniature sculptures. “From that day on, I had a new creative challenge that gave me a lot of joy because I could see the pieces being worn,” she recalls. Vari approaches wearable art in precisely the same manner and strength as her abstract sculptures, collages and paintings. Her thorough exploration of bold geometric forms, the examination of volume, painterly curves and lines result in the composition both peaceful and elegant but also captures a harmonious theatrical tension. “It is a real challenge for me, and it is very much like creating a sculpture, made to be worn. No doubt, the fact that I am a woman has its advantages. Firstly, because I can try it […]
