Always aiming to balance the raw and the refine , there is a certain darkish , raw and organic feeling to all her work , reflecting her Nordic soul. Living in India at the time, she was introduced to the traditional craftsmanship and ancient jewellery traditions , which inspired her to start making her own one- of -a- kind jewellery. Each piece pushing the boundaries of classical jewellery, merging the past and present to create modern relics.
