These biological patterns are not random; they serve functional roles in light absorption and protection, yet to me they became a visual language, a blueprint for design. Translating that intricate natural architecture into jewellery was an exhilarating process of ecology becoming artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"495\" data-end=\"980\"\u003eFor these earrings, I chose chrysocolla as the dominant stone, its swirling turquoise-green echoing the clam’s fluid tissue.
