About Marilyn Conjunt de joies

Marilyn és un conjunt de joies fet de plata 925 reciclada sense bany. El conjunt inclou un collaret, una polsera i unes arracades. Les formes fluides expressen rínxols i vent a la platja. Cada peça es modela mitjançant la fosa a la cera perduda i tècniques tradicionals d'orfebreria, i s'acaba amb una superfície mat texturada amb agulla. Les parts del collaret s'uneixen en punts equilibrats, de manera que el conjunt segueix els moviments de qui el porta. La polsera s'adapta a la forma del canell, i les arracades són lleugeres i es corben a prop de la cara. El conjunt és adequat per a esdeveniments formals i semiformals. La producció té lloc a Sonkajärvi, Finlàndia.
