I find the peek-a-boo quality of this jewelry appealing and engaging. Each individual component invites you to move in closer to the whole with a promise of discovery, and when you do you are rewarded: flowers within flowers, semi-precious gem centers, lovely tiny details.

Also notable is the way Germany’s Nora Rochel connects the components of the Egg-Puzzle neck piece pictured above. Room for exploration. . .

“Wearing Nora Rochel‘s rings turns one‘s hands into small landscapes and gardens. Many of the rings are fanciful, but often the source of inspiration is a real flower. Characteristic features are hidden details like small flowers on the inside or the use of different metals in one piece. They catch the instant of a flower‘s pure vitality while avoiding kitsch.” From the artist’s website
