Ellerbeckia

This Belgium-born jewellery designer and silversmith works from her own studio in Antwerp. Informed by nature, Schepens has a profound interest in the patterns of the microscopic organisms living in water; an endless source of inspiration in her work. Combining concept with craftsmanship, this concave semi-transparent vessel was created from a flat piece of sterling silver. The surface has been delicately pierced to produce a refined pattern of perforation. The cumulative effect instils the metal with the delicate veneer of crystal. The added effect of light casts an unexpected poetic shadow.
