Garra - Arm Bracelet
Crime Scene Industries DJ Set (Jezebel & Van Drum) in action. Jezebel wearing the Garra Arm Bracelet.
Garra - Claw
Date: 2006/2007
Materials: Sterling Silver, Leather, Patine, Enamel
Process: Chased, forged, hand made.
This was my first jewel created with a totally unique design and as extracurricular work. I wanted
to make a necklace to give to my girlfriend. This piece has initially caused shock and consternation among my peers and teachers, but as the piece evolved, people started to get used to it and eventually liked.
As a matter of fact, some liked it so much they asked me to make one for them. I always enjoyed the fact that a
piece would cause a reaction in people, whether good or bad, and accomplishing that
purpose made me very happy. I liked the end result so
much that I decided to make a collection based on the claw motif, a cat scratching
the wearer's body.
Provocation is my goal.

Black Sun
Date: 2005/2007
Materials: Silver, Leather, Patine and Enamel
I
began producing
this piece
at the
end of the first
year of
the jewellery course,
as an
extra curricular
piece. The
design
is
a
stylized
drawing
of an
Egyptian ornament,
taken
from
an ornamentation
book. This
piece
evolved
from a
one-dimensional styling to a three-dimensional one in the second
year
of the
course.
The centre piece
was
initially thought to
be
a
gem
but, as
I could
not find one with
the
proper
size,
I decided to do it with black
enamel, giving
it the name
of "Black
Sun". I loved
the
final result.
