Designing jewelry
A designer’s lamenting
«Creating a jewelry design is a passionate yet difficult alchemy of embryonic ideas that knock against each other and are transformed. For the unfortunate designer the blank page is in front of him. –Ah leave it alone…don’t darken the page mechanically; even pretend it can’t be seen. Close your eyes and gently send messages to the brain imploring Mother Nature for help. She is my never-ending source of inspiration. Fleeting images appear, shells, exotic leaves, wood texture etc. A light blinks, then my left hand discretely grasps the blank page, and with my other hand holding my treacherous pencil I sketch the silhouette of my ring soon to be born. My mind is at last at peace.»
