A chance encounter with a Tuareg jewelry maker that
specialized in mainly silver and ebony on a trip to Mali 6 years ago led to her
first design. Her specialization has
since evolved to antique glass beads and contemporary silver, bronze, amber to
sometimes cotton, leather and antique clay.
Combining the materials while preserving and sharing
every single history attached to each material is half the pleasure she gets
during the creative process. Preserving heritage is key in each design.
