I am always thrilled to collaborate with Veronica Morales Angulo whose striking digital works of art fulfil my need to see jewellery articulated in new, innovative and inspiring ways. She’s the woman behind Archellery – a blend of architecture photography and augmented artistry that dares to imagine jewels in unique scenarios. Continue reading to see the results of our latest collaborative jewellery project, which is inspired by Veronica’s story of finding her inner self…

It’s true that some of our most creative moments can emerge when we’re feeling down. That ‘lightning bolt’ effect is often transformative and powerful, leading to an adrenaline-fuelled time of creativity. That’s exactly what happened for my long-time collaborator, Veronica Morales Angulo, who used the sadness of a separation as a time for self-reflection.

This project was born after my separation which, although it was my choice and a decision made by me, took me on a long journey where I had to revisit my inner self. – Veronica Morales Angulo

In her sadness, she turned to something that had long fascinated her – mysticism – and began exploring tarot cards, oracles, and the mysterious powers of the universe. Despite feeling like she was living through an “existential crisis” she found comfort in the unknown and a kinship with other women going through difficult times. Her latest digital artworks reflect this feeling of rediscovering one’s power through exceptional high jewellery, and I am pleased to share the results with you here. Each piece has its own name and symbolism, like a distinctive chapter in a larger book, and I am assured that the series will grow and develop with time. I hope you find your own meaning in these creations.
