TAP BY TODD POWNELL
ABOUT:
TAP Jewelry designs evolve from emotion to (aesthetic) experience and back. Romanticism underlies the forms of expression within the jewelry. The interaction of dark and light metals mixed with fine gold and diamonds combine to evoke a strong sense of mystery and sublime nature. The diamonds are bead set “upside-down” onto the surface in pave’ or scattered across the piece. This reverse setting effectively captures and reflects light in a succession of broad flashes from oblique angles creating the feeling of twilight. The emotive experience is primary with passions held over order and the senses are moved into the pleasures of the imagination.
