Woven Moments

In 2021 she participated in the Jewelry Selection contest DAZZLE ME! with the bracelet Woven Moments in sterling silver and tourmaline.
The jewel is part of the Fragments collection where the designer, with the use of line and the opposition of full and empty spaces, realises a combination of floral, vessel, architectural and textile forms.
Jennifer compares the line to drawing, stitching and weaving, taking segments to create patterns and designs that when put together become a mixture and representation of her life experiences. Within these patchworks she is able to display moments to which anyone may relate.
