Custom Geometric Locket
I handmade this custom geometric locket after a client from the U.K. emailed me with her vision. Below you can see the process for this piece.
Creating lockets requires quite a bit of engineering as the hinges and clasps need to fit perfectly for a solid open-close mechanism.

Taking this into account, I came up with this sketch,
after which we agreed to move forward.

Emma and her jewellery
Emma Krafft was my great-grandmother. I never actually met her, but have been told stories about how she was an elegant lady who always wore red lipstick with matching red nailpolish and that she had her hats specially made.
My dear grandmother, Leyla Baydar had kept her mother's jewels and would sometimes gift them to us over the years on special occasions. The craftsmanship of the time is simply exquisite. Here are some truly vintage pieces for your viewing pleasure.
