‘You and Me’ HRD Award prize-winner, Antwerpen Belgium / Shanghai China
Object: 1 + 1 = 3, ring

You and Me together carry more than we could on our own. The two of us create an unseen bridge and amaze the world with the result.
When buying beautiful precious stones, you lay them on the hand (between your fingers) to see how they will show. For years I have been wanting to create this effect: an unseen bearer, practically only the stone will be seen. Attending the HRD Award made me search for a way to set a faceted stone into my filigree work. Using this method, I reached the effect I was searching for for years.
