DESIGN NAME: Poseidon
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Jewellery
INSPIRATION: The trigger to create Poseidon was set in the darkest hours of my life, when I felt frightened, vulnerable and in need of protection. Primarily I designed this collection to be used in self defense. Even though that notion has faded throughout this project, it still does exist. Poseidon is my first official collection and is aimed at strong women. It is meant to give the wearer the feeling of strength, power and confidence. Poseidon was the god of the sea and, as "Earth-Shaker," of earthquakes in Greek mythology.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Every piece is Hand made and one of a kind, made with precious and semi precious metal (Gold, Silver), precious and semi precious stones.The pieces are Gold plaited, silver plaited or oxidised. The stones are set in a unique way during the Casting process.The pieces have a unique story and were originally created to be used in self defense.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: -
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This is my graduation collection and also my first official collection. The whole process from idea to production took almost one year. I have since exhibited the pieces in several exhibitions both in the UK and the USA.
