A jewel (as any integer) is a multiple of 1 and of itself...

As an artist/maker I prefer create unique pieces rather than mass-produced ones, but as a designer I like to produce small collections to guarantee low prices.

Some of my collections are designed to be more easily reproduced and affordable, others, while remaining unique pieces, they can be traced to a common denominator  such as: techniques, materials or a shared aesthetic.
