Handgjorda smycken av Naali
Vi har använt smycken för att uttrycka oss i över 130 000 år. Vi bär dem som dekorationer, som statussymboler, för att kommunicera något, av religiösa skäl, för tur, för att uttrycka vårt humör, vår stil, personlighet, eller för att påminna oss själva om något. Smycken är en berättelse om oss som människor, något som visar andra vilka vi är.
De tidigaste utsmyckningarna tillverkade vi av snäckskal, fjädrar, stenar, örnklor, tänder, ben, trä, eller annat vi kunde hitta i vår omgivning som väckte vår uppmärksamhet. Senare, ungefär 5000 år sedan började vi tillverka smycken av ädla metaller och ädelstenar. De smycken du väljer att bära idag kan vara gjorda av nästan vad som helst. Valet är ditt. Det kan vara något symboliskt, uppenbart för alla som ser det, eller diskret och meningsfullt bara för dig.
Jag skapar handgjorda smycken av silver och guld, både med och utan ädelstenar. Jag kanske kan hjälpa dig uttrycka dig med smycken. Ta en titt i mitt galleri och se om där finns något som fångar din uppmärksamhet.
