BEAUTIFUL KILLER

As a jewellery designer, my aim is to interpret nature’s forms into wearable adornment. It is my voice of creativity.

This piece is designed and hand constructed on a current topic of Confrontation; The Great White Shark, and particularly the culling of Perth's pristine beaches.

SHARK SKIN

Agility, a unique skin and arrow formed scales allow for ultimate water propelling. I based my element of design on the shark’s skin pattern. It took me to a geometric aesthetic which I further developed into a bracelet form. This element is paramount to showcase and represent this sleek fearless Apex Predator.
