I remember when you submitted the drawings for these on dA, and you wondered if you could pull it off. I would suggest you have, and stunningly.

The thing that catches my attention most is the seamless blend of modern and organic elements. There is a nearly "woodgrain" appearance on the outer rings of some pieces, and swirled images that mirror sea creatures such as coral and dolphins. Yet is is very clear these are abstract elements.

The second thing that caught my eye was the intricacy of their manufacture. It is obvious you spent a good deal of time handcrafting these adornments.

I have done a good deal of marketing and advertising for jewelers in the U.S., and I speak from experience when I say these pieces would have appeal for a very broad audience: those who appreciate nature-inspired jewelry and those with a love for the ultra modern. In a world of copycat jewelry designs, you manage to be unique and still saleable.

Well done.
