TOOTH AND NAIL

The collection features symbols of predation and protection found in nature – like thorns, fangs, and teeth. 

An exploration of the idea that in nature particularly in carnivores, the female of the species, are often deadlier than the male and when you then look at the tools that nature has evolved for them such as claws, fangs, thorns, they too are built up of what are perceived as very feminine curves. What initially reads as scary or threatening is actually built from very elegant and graceful shapes. The jewellery sits in a confusing place between aggressive and beautiful.
