Inside story

The main concept and inspiration behind this necklace was my surrealist drawing. It tells a story of beauty, imagination and innocence that all of us have inside and how easy it can be hurt by those, who are greedily attracted by those features.

The innocence is represented by 2 people inside the rose, who are awakening. They are protected by a spiral cord, that also pierces through a hand, which is trying to get the rose, causing it to bleed (garnets). To the left from the rose is a pack of winged spheres, that are guarding the key-hole: the entrance to this universe. There is a tiny human trying to get to that hole from the top. The key to the rose is in fact held by a dragonfly-like creature, which is ridden by an archer. They are also protectors of this delicate imagination land. The piece is kept in 3 colours: red, white and black. Some parts of silver were oxidized black, some were polished and some were kept white-like, to bring out the expression of emotions in the picture. The hand and the key-hole entrance are rough and cracky, as they have connection to the “outside” world.

Materials: silver, pearls, garnets
