Minimal Art
Rings Tantal, Brilliants
Michaela Gottstein
My intention is to create jewelry in a reduced and clear design. I often take inspirations from the fine arts, especially from the minimalist art.
My work is based on geometric concrete shapes, in which the main element is the rare, dark gray tantalum.
