This quartet of diminutive discs, is a jewellery collection adorned with four individual female portraits. The portaits havebeen painstakingly applied with enamel onto the plated nickel and silver. Imagined as part of an exhibition titled "Silence please" each piece provides a poetic metaphor about the requisite silence of the creative process. The material and technical expertise combined with the use of figurative decoration is a rare feat in the creation of contemporary jewellery. Fátima Tocornal, born in Cadiz, has been exhibiting her work across Spain and abroad since 1990. More recently, a background in mural painting and jewellery desin has merged, culminating in her signature styke of whimsical, weareble portraits.
