Unlike other gemstones, it is unique, heterogeneous – and thus exceptional. I believe that is precisely how we should approach its use, as well as decorative and jewellery art. We should approach amber in a non-conventional way, because it is unique. It cannot be tamed. The raw material itself should first be the starting point for a design. In my opinion, you cannot plan a design and say: I will use amber for this. The range of colours encourages creative thinking, to use every single nugget.
It's high time to gently change its attire. Just as we often think of it as our mothers' jewellery, the moment has come for it to become a fashion hit. There's a chance for that to happen. The brilliant thing is that, for this project, people who design very contemporarily have been involved with me, for which I am grateful. Seeing amber, I thought it was a stone different from my aesthetic. And now it delights me.
