Inspiration for designing jewels can be found by strongly experiencing a feeling. All the surrounding objects thereby form a subconsciousness film of determining factors.

The ring ‘Koivu’ is one in a bigger series of ‘Koivu’ Jewels. Koivu is the Finnish word for Birch Tree. The fine structure in this tree links remarkably the Nothern Culture with the Mediterranean. Similar structural drawings were found in the Alhambra (Granada, Spain).

Fine structures and diamonds are handcut and -fitted in yellow gold 18cts.
