All designs start with a mark or two on a piece of paper. A simple point, an accidental dot, a mark.

I made this ring having simplicity in my mind. I had two small round pieces. One was like a cup and the other like a disc. Although the design looks very basic it took me a lot of weeks to put the pieces together.

I used a piece of silver wire and soldered the two rounds on the two ends. And I then I was looking at them. The disc wanted to cover the cup, maybe.

Anyway, I decided to drill the disc. It looked more friendly to the cup. And then finished the ring and dived it into black.

“Mark” ring is a statement of simplicity and minimalism. Two round shapes engaged. Together and apart as well.

The “Polygon” jewelry project is a study on geometry. It started years ago with an experimental ring made during silversmith classes. The educational purpose of this design was to learn how to use files on hard waxes and to deal with the edges created among flat surfaces.

This first ring was impressive and had a beautiful form. I worked further with it and managed to solve the functionality problems. The design is now ready and the result is very satisfying. The whole collection has the same polygonal pattern.

There is also a small edition of the “Polygon” ring that is a thin band.

All pieces are from sterling silver.

The “Grid” is the essential element of architecture. It shows the structure, the use and the rythm of the design. For an architect the grid is something necessary. It hepls to organize your thoughts and make the idea real.

The piece is made by drawing lines with melted wax on a special surface. The procedure takes time and needs a lot of attention to every detail in order not to break. The pieces are made by using the lost wax technique.
