Field Notes No. 1: The Source Material
The collection began with an image:
a weathered object discovered along a
distant shoreline, shaped by salt, sun,
and time.
Drawn to marine relics, devotional charms, antique jewelry, and treasures gathered during travel, I became interested in the stories objects carry long after their origins have faded. The collection developed from
this fascination—sun-bleached coastlines, fragments of coral, sacred iconography, aged metals, and the shifting colors of sea and stone.
Rather than creating jewelry in the conventional sense,
I wanted each piece to feel as though it had been collected over time; something found, kept, and eventually passed on. The resulting collection exists between adornment and artifact, combining natural materials, small-batch sourcing, and one-of-a-kind compositions that celebrate imperfection, rarity, and memory.
Sol Objet is an exploration of beauty
shaped by time—objets intended to be
worn, treasured, and collected.
