emiko-o reware

2 weeks and counting until My First Royal Jewels Jewellery Collection is to be installed at the SF Museum of Craft+Design. Amped up on adrenaline, the necklaces are really moving along. You’ve already seen a preview of Cartier Blanc, now for my Boucheron remake. Titled, Maharajah’s 6th, it is a take on the “white jewellery” craze of the 1920’s, just like the Cartier Blanc piece.

The studio is a’blazen with LEGO EVERYWHERE, sketches, photos, not to mention circuit board projects and studies on mannequins. It’s CRAZY but glorious.
