ABOUT THE WORK
Silver cross pendant with black porcelain. An expressive symbol placed into the form of a contemporary piece of jewelry.
History
The form of the cross in this piece is built from five black porcelain elements and a silver structure. The joining of the separate parts allows the cross to open up not as a flat sign, but as a volume with an inner structure, rhythm and space.
The combination of black porcelain and silver creates a striking contrast of materials: matte porcelain, open to touch, and light-reflecting metal act upon one another. The silver becomes not only the base of the pendant, but also the visible structure of the cross, revealing the way it is put together.
The piece draws on a recognizable form, yet does not illustrate it. Here the cross becomes a contemporary personal sign, whose meaning can differ for each person who wears it.
Handmade porcelain miniatures give every pendant a character of its own. The surface of the material, its texture and slight differences in form show that this is not a sterile, flawless object, but a piece in which the process of its making remains visible and tangible.
Combination ideas
This is a piece that can be worn as a stronger accent in an everyday look, or kept as an object with a meaning of its own. The silver and black porcelain structure works well next to a clean-lined silhouette, yet it can also be paired with more expressive clothing.
Occasion
This piece can become a gift for a man, when you wish to give meaning to a bond or to an important moment in life.
The cross can be given not only for a particular celebration. The choice may be prompted by a personal bond, a significant date, a new stage in life, or simply the wish to pass a meaningful sign on to another person. The meaning of this sign can also be given by the one who offers it.
