Working with silver for about 10 years.
I make my own designs and prototypes in metal.
usually the result jewellery is made from casted parts joint
together with the use of solder. not much color in this work,so i am
not using stones or enamel.i do use the contrast of black oxidation
and shiny metal. the inspiration was very strong effected from the
sea and the sea creaturs that explanes the name of my work.Mare
Nostrum means in Latin our sea and the ancient Romans meant by that
the Mediterranean Sea. Greece is surrounded by sea and i lived many
sommers on a beautiful island… so i end this breaf report by
apologizing for mistakes but my stronger language is the German one.

I am formally trained as a designer. I taught and worked in the
advertising world for 30 years. For the second faze of my career, I
decided to apply my design skills to jewelry. After 3 years of
classes in various aspects of the industry, I am designing and
creating jewelry. I love working at the bench and think it is a
necessary skill to design jewelry that can be reproduced.
