ARIANE HARTMANN
Statement
The idea my work based on can be written down in one sentence:
Jewellery is a piece of life
This statement means personal experience is very precious. Jewellery is much more valuable to us when it reminds us of our own story. A piece of jewellery can/should also be a daily part of life.
The pieces of the motto collection are inspired from these thoughts. Special mottos or sentences important to your life are stamped letter by letter into silver- or gold stripes until they are completely covered. With this constant repetition it seems as if the material has soaked up the meaning of words and passes it over to the bearer again.
CHANGE is a jewellery system created to give the person wearing the jewellery the freedom to choose what’s best. The base ring is kinds of a tool where you can put on every head you want, or take it of again. As there are different days in your life there are different heads to put on your base ring.
