Japanese inspired Jewelry

Here is a jewelry collection inspired by Japan, I was heavily influenced by origami and japanese culture.

Jewel beetles!

A headpeice I made inspired by the jewel beetle, I used real jewel beetle wings as a trim and large insect influenced layers for the base.

Textile Jewelry.

Some textile jewelry inspired by abstract bird shapes for a "feather" brief. I was really inspired by Wai-Yuk Kennedy and her textile art.
