"Padlock" @hectorfa_ the designer behind my favourite brand @daneyto asked me one time if I could make him an earring. It was something I had never done before and I didn't know what to do. But I went into research mode, looked through different suppliers of trinkets etc and came across some tiny padlocks. From that I realized that I wanted to keep the sort of chain look through it, but it proved very difficult to keep a hoop shape with the moving chains. What I ended up with was using wire, interlocking it through the chains creating a barbed wire effect, then attaching the padlock on the end to give this idea of how factories once shut down becomes locked down with barbed wire and massive pad locks to deter explorers and people from entering. I ended up making two variants, one with just the padlock and one with a cuff to extend the chain towards the top of the ear. DM/email to enquire

"Exoskeleton" First photo by @alicjaborek___ Creating my own accessories started with the lack of finding rings that fit me, especially when I went thrifting and everything was mostly too small and would fit either the pinky finger or occasionally the ring finger. During the process of creating my rings I started thinking about exoskeletons, being fascinated by Crabs, Spiders and other insects, the idea of armour outside of the body. I wanted to create something that mixed between being armor, and being a reference to the bone structure of our skeleton but through the usage of chains. What I never thought about was the similarities it had with anime's, particularly Hunter X Hunter, an anime I was told about repeatedly on nights out, (which I need to watch). Further on, it led me into creating a matching piece for my friend @terafl0p_ so that we could show up with a matching outfit for a gathering. It led me to create a mask as well, Dan would later show me the idea of putting a black face over underneath as a style option. Open for commission or lending, through DM/Emails

"The Ring" It started as a simple acting exercise. I was attending @esperstudio and was tasked to do an exercise called independent activity. I chose to create something with chains, little did I know I would succeed with the activity and that I would discover a joy working with chains. The Ring is the first, it serves as the basis and foundations for all my accessories. It's made out of stainless steel, it's rough, hard, heavy and strong. Reminding me of industrial, perhaps foreshadowing my enjoyment for techno. The 6th picture holds the first ring I made, a different chain that wasn't stainless, but the wear and tear has just made me love it even more. If you want one, contact me either by DM or email
