A short story: Borja ring.

Borja was one of the first pieces I carved after my time in Japan. The Japanese artisans and their philosophy inspired me to create natural and imperfect pieces. I let go of the fear of not being able to achieve perfection. Why should I be seeking it? These makers were showing me their beautiful creations that were far from perfect but incredibly interesting and appealing. I had a hunger to create, to make and explore this new metal smithing world. I was excited to come back home and immerse myself in the creative process of fine jewellery making.

This ring and its facets represent the different sides of our cyclic nature as women, our own contrasts. On one hand the softness and flow and on the other hand, our power and strength. Not perfect but all beautiful in our own way. ⁣
