Among his creations are stunning necklaces and other pieces of amulet like
quality which quickly gain the attention and admiration
of a small circle of admirers and collectors including,
Andy Warhol, Jerry Hall, Marisa Berenson, Kenzo,
Sting, Elle MacPherson, John Galliano and David
Bowie.
His style has evolved and current designs are
inspired by excavated gold jewelry from ancient
civilizations, where gold was believed to be a
symbol of the sun and prosperity.
This has been translated into his designs by the
extensive use of gold and ancient elements such
as excavated glass and precious beads. Traces
of Mesopotamian, Roman and Egyptian influence
can also be found in his pieces. However, as it
was among the ancient great religions of Hindu
Buddhist empires of Southeast Asia and tribal
people that he was to
find the key to his unique and remarkable style.
