About Nature Diamantøreringer

Kilden til inspirasjonen til denne formen er naturen. Naturen er ekstremt enorm og inne i seg selv, den inneholder et bredt utvalg av elementer med hensyn til forestillinger; siden for lenge siden fremover avl og vegetasjon har illustrert dette faktum. Evt. Er alt uendelig i naturen og avler begynnelsen på en uendelig. Denne formen er integrert med meningsfulle detaljer, mens hver del forteller historien og alle komponentene som er innlemmet i hverandre uttrykker historien i form av en ørering.
