In my current work I am exploring porcelain as a precious mysterious material. Porcelain was at one time thought to be valued more than gold and received the nick name of white gold, upon perfecting the formula. With the current economic climate I find myself gravitating more towards this ‘white gold’ and pushing it as far as I can to achieve the preciousness that once dominated the aristocracy of the early 18th century. Im enjoying bringing two precious materials together; gold and porcelain to achieve a final piece merging the elegance of materials. Being surrounded by the products of the great porcelain house of europe and antique jewelry in my ‘day’ jobs have confounded into a very interesting piece of jewelry still grounded in the traditional adornment and the merging of history of all things precious.
