I was drawn to Contemporary Jewelry because by reading and studying about it as well as through my experience as a creator, I came to the conclusion that we have to set Jewelry free from the narrative of the past. The materials, symbols, connotations and semiotics of a jewelry piece need to keep pace with the times. Jewelry does not need to imply wealth, power or status anymore, nor contain prejudice.
