Chaos Collection: With the designs in this collection I aim to achieve a purity of form; the pieces are constructed using very thin bright plastic diskettes.
These diskettes are of different sizes and they are threaded over a steel wire creating a very strong graphic effect.
This necklace is a more precious variation on the collection using diskettes of one size together with big antique glass beads of african origin: with the use of this antique glass the jewellery sheds a very colourful light.
The neckace can be reproduced but - due to the variability of the weaving of wires and diskettes and the use of antique glass - each piece is never perfectly the same.
