New work and some thoughts about simplicity

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Leonardo da Vinci

I ‘ve been noticing a growing need to keep things simple.
Not only when it comes to jewelry but also in other areas of my life.

Simplicity is not as easy as it may look. To keep just the essentials when designing a piece is quite hard as it requires to decide what ‘s important and what’s not.

Our minds seem to be programmed to look for complicated solutions, so to keep things clean and yet visually interesting is counterintuitive.

These new pieces represent different interpretations of simple forms and also reflect recurring themes in my work. I hope that you’ll find them aesthetically pleasing.
