I think we need the word “contemporary” to let the audience know that we are different from the others, and the fact that we need a name to be understood is a pity. Perhaps there will be a time that we don’t need a title to be good in what we do. The only one who can make a difference are the jewellery designers themselves.   

The question, what is contemporary jewelry is easy to answer. Everything what is made these days by a jewellery designer is contemporary.

My piece of jewellery is a poster of all the jewellery that we have made. With the silver frames you can choose the best part of the poster. You'll always make a choice with more than one design in it. You can wear a combination of contemporary jewellery, because we are contemporary!
