What makes a material valuable? If a material in its raw state is defined by its financial value in the global market, the answer to this question is straightforward. Ambiguity is introduced when raw materials are processed, mixed and worked, by machine or by hand, and subjected to design and influence. At once value judgements of a different nature are key. Questions of quality, taste, personality and brand are raised. Is it here, through craft’s ability to reshape, personalise and elevate materials, that its value can be found?

Even I have been talking about playful, value, material, functional, buy I have been always ask myself what is jewellery? Am I designing jewellery? Every time whatever I have designed the answer is still yes. Even I have moved from functional playful to theoretical playful, but I believe it is still a big challenge for me, and this question I will ask in the future a lot I believe. Even I will never get the right answer and the answer is changing.
