The hexagon as the basic element of my jewellery is a shape found in nature. It appears on a microscopic as well as a macroscopic level: from benzene molecules and cells to honeycombs, insect eyes and snow flakes to Saturn’s north pole.

I find it really fascinating. Why the hexagon is there on Saturn has not been fully explained yet. Apparently it has to do with a certain speed of rotation within the weather system. Saturn’s hexagon was discovered during the Voyager mission in 1981. Some (impressive) numbers: The sides of the hexagon are about 14.500km long, which is about 2000km longer than the diameter of Earth.

I just love how nature organises itself. This collection is all about a celebration of our universe.
