The Enchanted was a journey deeply rooted in my passion for crystals and raw minerals. From the outset, my intention was to harness the inherent energy of these natural elements and channel them into pieces that transcend mere adornment. Central to the series are the stones themselves—lazurite, moonstone, obsidian, and Mexican opal—each chosen for its unique energetic properties and symbolic significance. As I combined these stones with varying hues of enamel, a narrative emerged that speaks to the dynamic forces of the natural world. Through the juxtaposition of materials and colors, I sought to weave a tale of transformation and resilience, reflecting the cyclical nature of existence and the perpetual evolution of the Earth. The process of soldering brass and copper layers, preserving the brass sheet design while adorning the copper with enameling powder, was both a technical challenge and a creative opportunity. It allowed me to imbue each piece with layered meanings—metaphorically mirroring the complexity of the natural world itself.
