Infinity

Faith is the subtle chain which binds us to the infinite. ~ Elizabeth O. Smith

I mentioned before both my parents are teachers - one of math, the other of physics. Which means that I am a very logical, precise and mathematical person, of course :)

As an artist I have a special relationship with the circle: the perfect shape, the shape with largest area for the same perimeter, the never-ending shape... and so on.

Infinity: necklace, bracelet, earrings set - sterling silver, freshwater pearls, wire wrapping :: All the Pretty ThingsNot long ago I came upon 3 different sizes of silver plated rings and I knew I had to have them. Getting home, I tried different ideas until I paired them with some fresh-water pearls, very close to the perfect spherical shape and the 'aha' moment arrived.

Born was the 'Infinity' set - an asymmetrical necklace that can be worn to multiple variations of length (the toggle clasp at the end matches perfectly the small-sized rings, so any can be used as the match), with matching bracelet and earrings. Both the bracelet and the earrings incorporate the motif of the necklace pendant: 2 circles with the pearl.

You can think of them as planet orbits, you can think of them as abstract figures. One thing is for sure: the whole set is a perfect blend of simplicity and elegance.

They go perfectly with the LBD or they can be used as that delicate touch for a bridal gown. They are ethereal and eternal!
