About Marilyn Smykkesett

Marilyn er et smykkesett laget av resirkulert, ikke-belagt 925 sølv. Settet består av et halskjede, et armbånd og øredobber. De flytende formene uttrykker krøller og vind ved stranden. Hvert stykke er formet ved hjelp av voksutsmeltingsstøping og tradisjonelle gullsmedteknikker, og er ferdigbehandlet med en matt overflate laget med nål. Halskjedets deler er sammenlenket på balanserte punkter, slik at settet følger bærerens bevegelser. Armbåndet følger håndleddets form, og øredobbene er lette og buer seg nær ansiktet. Settet passer til formelle og halvformelle anledninger. Produksjonen finner sted i Sonkajärvi, Finland.
