Similarly to how an actor aspires to understand and imitate, I felt inspired to create a rather unusual type of piece of jewelry. The female foot has, since time immemorial, held a fascination and sensual attraction eventually sublimed into an equally practical and aesthetic object – the shoe.
Thanks to a new type of jewelry, any shoe can now become a unique work of art thanks to an eye- and light-catching accessory made of precious cloth refined with tasteful additions of gold, paper and gems.
Turn your favourite shoes into something special and indulge in the luxury of being truly unique.
