Elsa Sarantidou Rocky Road, 2023 18kt yellow gold, yellow and light brown diamonds ring Unique ”In my latest jewelry collection, I sought to capture the essence of our dynamic, ever-evolving contemporary world by drawing inspiration from the innovative designs in architecture. The result is a fusion of artistry, fashion, and architecture that pays homage to the present time. Contemporary architecture, with its emphasis on fluid forms, bold lines, and unconventional structures, has the power to reshape our perceptions of space and redefine our urban landscapes. It is this transformative spirit that I aimed to encapsulate in my jewelry pieces. An emphasis on light, transparency, and fluidity, as well as organic and futuristic shapes, served as pivotal sources of inspiration. Just as contemporary architecture pushes the boundaries of what’s possible, my jewelry collection pushes the boundaries of what’s expected in accessory design. I aimed to create pieces that are not merely adornments but wearable sculptures. Each piece reflects the complex interplay of lines, curves, and angles found in modern architecture, resulting in an aesthetic that is both elegant and avant-garde. Through “Architectural Fusion, I invite you to explore the synergy between contemporary architecture, art, and jewelry, and experience the beauty and wonder […]

Jacqueline de Jong Pommes de Jong, 2019 Shrunk potato sprouts, 18kt yellow gold plated ring with three diamonds 3.8cm Unique   Pommes de Jong is an ongoing project that came to life in 2007 in Bouan (Bourbonnais, France) where in the mid 1990’s de Jong and her husband decided to buy a house. She created a vegetable garden and they planted potatoes in memory of the lack of food during the war. De Jong stored the potatoes in a 13th Century cellar and suddenly realized that she was fascinated by the huge amount of sprouts that were growing from the shrunk tubers. When de Jong was asked by a jewellery collector to make a jewel for her, she thought that she might do something with these shrunk potatoes and their sprouts that were getting longer and longer. Pommes de Jong were inspired by the idea of transforming a humble object into a precious one. In the realization of the wearable art, the potatoes and their sprouts are dried slowly by the artist over a period of two years and are submerged in a bath of platinum or gold becoming exclusive pieces of wearable art.
