The studies of porcupine quills together with the book ‘Africa Adorned’ by Angela Fisher are the main sources of inspiration in Bea Jareno’s work.The different qualities of line, shape and size in harmony with the use of precious metals creates rhythm, fluidity and movement interest within the pieces, giving a simplicity and minimalist sense throughout the body of work.
Her new work, the Indian Summer collection, is inspired by her travels in India. The collection compromises an entire one of a kind pieces; bracelets, rings and earrings focus in the mix of colours, cuts and settings reflecting a land of peace, sun and where everything is possible. All the different colours comes together to create a balance exploring and emphasising contrast within the metal and the stones combined with a satin finished, a real feast of colour and Design at the highest level of craftsmanship.
