ABOUT



Daniela is a South African jewellery designer who's practise explores notions of 'home' and 'family' through the lens of travel and storytelling. Often inspired by hardware and mechanisms, her designs are developed through focus on bold form and an intentional use of line. Daniela's process involves a careful balance between manual techniques like hand carving and traditional goldsmithing skills alongside computer aided design software like Rhino 3D and Illustrator to create pieces with precision. Mechanisms, clasps and the technical workings of settings take after those found in traditional fine jewellery as she places herself in a broader jewellery context.
