The sinking silhouette of Amsterdam

Specialisms:

Jewelry

These pieces represent the rising sea-level problem. By representing Amsterdam, a city known for its architecture, I knew that it would be easily recognisable and grab people’s attention. Amsterdam is threatened by the rising sea-level caused by climate change. The buildings chosen represent what we are going to lose in the near future because of climate change: history and freedom. The bead setting and the crystal bands show the rising sea-level problem and the effect it has on the buildings. Silver gold plated 9ct Setting: Alexandrite, Topaz, Sapphire Crystal band: Moss Agate, Agate, Jadeite, Quartz
