"One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art."
-Oscar Wilde
But why not have both?
Although Queen of Ashes first saw the light of day in June 2019, so many of it´s designs had been my brain-children for many years before. Even though there had always been great designers making beautiful jewelry, I knew what I wanted and I just couldn´t find it – I had to make it myself.
As Vivienne Westwood once said: "I design things to help people to hopefully express their personality.“
And just as in her case, I hope to not only produce the jewelry I always dreamed of, but to create something my customers find themselves in too. I always grew up in stories. Most of my designs draw inspiration of such in one way or another, with a great focus on lore from all around the globe.
Queen of the Ashes is a labor of love and passion, working together with talented artisans. Great detail and high quality are of most importance for me, which leads to a focus on quality over quantity.
