Cymbals collection


cymbals
2025-2026



This jewellery collection is crafted from repurposed cymbal pieces that were once part of a drum kit, giving a functional object with a singular purpose a new life as accessories.
By combining traditional jewellery-making techniques with material experimentation, the work explores how different objects can be reshaped into new forms of adornment.
Each piece is handmade as an ode to craftsmanship and its ability to reshape even the most unexpected materials into something both beautiful and meaningful. 

Though the metal is strong and once rigid, it becomes organic in its new form and shape, creating a contrast between its original nature and its new expression.
The earrings grow into different alien shapes in which the symmetry is as visible as the organic body. The one piece necklace follows the curves of the shoulders like flowing golden lines, wrapping around it and gently staying in position.
