Anglo Plat

This is my Anglo Plat design. It is two bangles made of platinum and stainless steel. They can be worn separately but the fit together to make one bangle.
The idea is that in todays world people move around alot so couples some times have to be apart for work. The colours on the inside are taken from the meanings of the colours of zulu beads. Red stands for intence and jelous love. The blue stands for thoughts of your loved one loyalty and lonelyness.
The idea is to give your partner the appropriate colour and keep the other for yourself. When that person returns you get it back.

Artspace Exhibition


Two glass cases in a crowded room turned out not to be such a good idea... the turn out was great. unfortunately my cases were almost knocked over many times. I was pretty happy with my display, but I do think it distracted to much from the jewellery. I saw many people wandering how it was put together and how it was not falling apart. The idea was to make the cases look architectural and very simple and as minimal as possible. I think I achieved that. The glass boxes were constructed of glass panes with modified roofing washers to hold them together on the corners. The stands were made of PVC and polycarbonate that were glued together.
