Katerina currently lives in Florence and in Prague.
Chamarel jewellery is rather abstract, focused on simple shape. Where it alludes to natural
forms, we may feel a gentle touch of Surrealism.
The present CONE COLLECTION is based on the cone – an element that invites multiple
interpretations. Full of contrasts, the jewellery benefits from both its extreme poles, thus
allowing to express the personality of the wearer. With their “spikes”, the pieces of closed
forms extend far into space; they safely protect hidden secrets and, symbolically, also their
owners. Conversely, the rings with wide-open bezels call for exploration. The pistils found
inside change the objects into flowers that allude to the birth of life.
Or aren’t these perhaps the antennae
of unidentified creatures?
