the words beyond my jewelry 

the words beyond my jewelry is an evolving collection that will expand in time. It is inspired by Join, a pendant that, at some point, began to question its role. The collection entails old and new pieces regardless of the year of creation or the concept behind them. The real focus here is just on messages and stories.

Confetti - bracelet

IMAGINATION DOESN'T TAKE MUCH EFFORT 
The story of CONFETTI

​[…] Then, just when I thought we would all die from sadness, something occurred.
There was a slight, slithering noise, and before we could understand what was happening, we heard some words. “Come on, fellows… we can’t lay here forever.” Stick Five had finally and bravely broken the silence. He uttered a deep, heavy sigh, and slowly went on: “Something… something can still be done.” His voice was hoarse but determined, his entire body shaking, but struggling to gather strength and move.
As if inspired by him, Stick Four reached out, trying to help. [...]

Stones - brooch

THE DEPTH AND DELICACY YOU SEE
A dialogue between STONES

[...] Teal Stone: And isn’t that a problem? I mean, do you really think it is ok to be simple?
Purple Stone and Written Stone: Sure it is!
Teal Stone: But we are a brooch! And a brooch is not supposed to be…
Written Stone: Why not? A brooch is a brooch. Forget about being supposed.
Purple Stone: Written is right.
Teal Stone: I’m very confused.
Purple Stone: It looks like you are confusing being simple with being of no value [...]

Veillusion - brooch

DO YOU DREAM IN COLOR?
The story of VEILLUSION

[...] In time, I grew convinced that the purpose of dreams is to help us better understand ourselves and our lives. This persuaded me even more about them being real. But it was only when I was asked an illuminating question, that I found my truth about dreams.
A man, who probably knew this passion of mine, approached me with an open smile and asked: ‘Do you dream in color?’ [...]

Baloo - bangle

MY FRIEND'S EYES
The story of BALOO

[...] No need to say that this makes me feel uncomfortable, even embarrassed at times. I don’t know what to do nor answer. I’m sure that if I told them I didn’t gain any weight, they wouldn’t believe me. And honestly I understand them because they perceive me just as the mirror does. They see me as chubby! I have to confess that I also tried to be more active recently; I started running, swimming, working out at the gym, but nothing has changed.
I’m getting so used to people making remarks on my appearance that yesterday when I met an old friend who has been abroad for over six months, it surprised me he didn’t highlight my outward aspect. [...]

Jumping Colors - ring

THE WEAKEST ONE
A dialogue between JUMPING COLORS
​
[…] Purple: Your enthusiasm is contagious! How can you do that?
Blue: I do nothing. I just jump.
Purple: No, seriously, can I ask you a question?
Blue: Sure!
Purple: How is it you are never tired of all this jumping?
Blue: Sometimes I am. I do feel tired or sick. I have good days and bad days, just like you.
Purple: I can’t believe it. We have always jumped together, but I never heard you saying you were sick or tired. Not even once!
Blue: Listen, this is what you…
Purple: Don’t be nice to me. I know I’m the one who gets tired, the one who is always complaining… I’m the weakest, and you are the strongest.
Blue: That’s your opinion.
Purple: That’s what I see. Have you ever stopped jumping? […]

Join - pendant

WHO AM I?
The story of JOIN

[...] New questions came up. ‘Who am I?’ ‘What’s my purpose?’ ‘Is there more than hanging on a necklace?’ ‘What’s the meaning of a pendant?’ And, then, ‘Am I just a pendant?’
No. I didn’t feel like I was just a pendant anymore.
Something had happened inside me, something that made me change how I see the world. And once it happens, you can’t go back. So I decided to embrace my path with no fear and live my life from a different perspective. [...]
