This piece is made up of charms that are designed to mimic the textures of the different rock formations and structures of the Provence region. Furthermore, Provence is home to numerous classic fables that are woven into the fabric of the terrain. Therefore , I was heavily inspired by the numerous small towns such as Oppede-le-Vieux, Menerbes, and Les Baux-de-Provence which feature unique landscapes and monumental history.
Hand crafted out of Sterling Silver, and utilizing water casting as well as other metal manipulation techniques to create one of a kind pieces joined together in eternity, such as the terrain with their culture.
