Her works show different ways of participation and communication in the field of jewelry.
She developed this project: people are different, in this series of my works, they have to make their own choice, they can participate in the final design of a piece.
They have the right to decide how they want the jewelry to look like in the end.
In most cases jewelry works as follows: people buy the finished jewelry piece and wear it the way it is without any possibility to add their own preferences.
What she tries to do is giving the people a choice, so that they can purchase and design their own piece in their favorite colors and forms.
She provides the materials and they create.
