Collection No. 21- Spring 2024

This spring, my imagination wandered somewhere far beyond the usual garden. ✨

Spring 2024 was my Dune-inspired collection. The films had given me a whole other world to daydream about: the sun-baked landscapes of Arrakis, the lush greens of Caladan, otherworldly opals, hammered metals, and the feeling of finding something precious in the middle of the desert. Naturally, I wanted to see what all of that might look like as jewelry.

What I love about looking back at this collection is how those influences came through in textures and materials rather than just literal references. Warm hammered copper and marbled, dune-like patterns sit beside Caladan greens, luminous opal tones, turquoise inlays, and translucent flowers that almost seem to catch the light. The contrast between desert earthiness and delicate shimmer made the whole collection feel a little cinematic.

There were Arrakis-inspired hoops, Irulan opal designs, Caladan rings and stained-glass pieces, and even marbled Dune dangles finished with recycled sari tassels. Alongside the earrings were adjustable wire-wrapped rings and minimalist ear cuffs—different forms for all those little ideas that wouldn't leave my head.

It's funny to think that only a few collections earlier I was living in a pink-and-glitter Barbie world. Here I was, completely absorbed in desert colors, science-fiction imagery, metal textures, and gemstone-inspired details. That's one of my favorite things about creating: sometimes a story or a movie pulls me so far into its world that I have to make something with that feeling.
