Charlotte Fontaine is a young jewelry artist from Geneva, Switzerland working with a form of the bio resin that we looked at last month here. I’m not sure, but I think those are flowers captured in the resin. These rings remind me of snowglobes – I’m trying to figure out if the open setting, like the one shown here, would make a ring of that size more or less comfortable on your finger. What do you think?

I experiment by playing with metal and mixing different types of materials. By seeing the contrast between raw matter coming out of the oven, a flower, a seed or a shape made out of wax and the softness that comes from this shape, which is the essence of my work.

I love the top ring with the flower. It’s beautifully done with just the silver, white flower in the clear resin. Her work is gorgeous and inspiring. I looked at your last post and it makes me want to take my drills out and play! Thanks for introducing me to this wonderful artrist.
Okay… love these, all of them!!! so cool.
