Caches and silver troves as a visual style

Okay, the paradox can’t quite be reconciled between a piece of jewelry made of a precious metal and my favored concept wabi sabi and its reverence for simplicity and appreciation of all things and beings’ transient nature. Even so, with time the metal surface will show wear and marks, traces which add a wabi sabi kind of worn beauty. ALl the same, the properties of gold are unique, fire melting any of its alloys, allowing it to reemerge again and again in recycled pure form. It “rises”again, like Phoenix did.

Two large silver arm bangles, each adorned with gold-set stones: tourmalines, emerald, moonstones, labradorite, ruby. Narrow white-gold bangle with a cabochon-cut star ruby. ‘Japanese Sea’ bracelet with mabé pearl. Earrings with fossilized sea-shell. Dainty pendant with a drop-shaped rose quartz and a diamond. Ring to the right is engraved: “lita på osäkerheten” (approx. “have faith in uncertainty”)
