Bracelet, 2012

Fourteen Nails Spike Bracelet available in gold plated and oxidized brass

Playing with the idea of taking something common and transforming it into something precious, the Spike series is based on a collection of old style nails of different sizes and shapes. Cast in brass and silver and held in place with industrial elegance, the archetypal nature of these pieces makes them difficult to place in time.
As well suited to men as women, the series includes bracelets, tiepins, cufflinks, rings and broaches; the minimal intervention involved proves there is beauty in simplicity.
