Precious Plastic
After seeing a lovely rainbow over Leeds this morning, I thought we all needed some colour on this grey drab day.
Denise Julia Reytan was born in Düsseldorf in 1980 and studied jewellery and product design at the University of Applied Sciences in Düsseldorf 2003–2008.
Reytan says about her own work “My jewellery is a reflection of myself and an objective adherence of my ideas, thoughts and feelings into material, form and colour.”
The pieces are created using a silicone casting method and incorporating collected materials and objects which fascinate her, such as things from childhood, jewellery from family, from different times, countries or finds.
Other Jewellery collections include:
ESSENTIAL MIX
Denise Julia Reytan caught my eye as a jewellery designer but her work extends to so much more. This shopwindow installation consists of individual, everyday objects.
On one review I read Reytan’s work was described as “joyful jewellery” which is a perfect description.
