The collection consists of repeating geometrical module made of silver wire. Dimensional solids confine selected gem in symmetrical frame. Thanks to movable joint, there is possibility of replacing the content anytime by the user.
Each of the pendant is customized for few sizes of minerals including approximate size of the stone and its non-standards, related to the volume or natural shapes without grinding processing.
By altering the scale of the module, an integrated set of jewellery was created.
It consistsof single pendants, ring and two different kinds of necklaces,
earrings and bracelets.
