Beloved Memories #3 reflect my deep affection for my daughter.
We share a close bond that evolves with each phase of our lives. We are alike, yet completely different. My daughter is my muse and an endless source of inspiration.
The brooch is one of five in the Beloved Memories series, which received first prize for Design and Craftsmanship at the 2017 Jewelry Award, where the theme was Precious.
To me, Precious is the wisdom, encouragement, advice, and love that shaped me. Each brooch expresses the feelings linked to a loved one. By displaying the brooches as a group of picture frames, I emphasise their connection to my loved ones and memories. I cut the alabaster and handcrafted the stand.
