Whenever there’s a story behind – that something becomes stronger!
We generally lead much too stressed lives, which I think makes us sick! I made the necklaces CARE big and fragile to demand the wearer to slow down and show care and closeness, - to the jewelry and yourself! If pieces fall off the necklace you stress too much! The CARE necklaces are pieces of jewellery that shall remind us that we should spend more energy and time on closeness and care. The interaction I get from using a unique clay, that to some point relates to the old Danish Jydepotter, and by using a shape expression of a clear and direct man-made working method - I interpret as a signal about our fragile need in life for caring.
