Blanc de Neige - Paper Jewelry

The white structure is perceived first. Only then does white detach from white, leaf from leaf, with a clear view of the structure, the architectural principle. An important moment: the almost floating lightness of the material, accompanying the wearer’s movements, the occasional rustling reminiscent of leaves in the wind. Cheerful and playful or in orderly rows: the leaf shapes are layered, strung together, or knotted. In combination with delicate stainless steel wire and silver, the lightness of the paper is emphasized.

In some designs, the individual leaf shape takes center stage, while in others, the leaf shape itself becomes the basis for a new form through concatenation. Here, the conspicuous appears reserved, the natural abstract. Opulent simplicity, ordered chaos, or playful severity stand in delightful contradiction.
