Lina Simons' design philosophy combines beauty, durability and usability
Jewelry designer and goldsmith Lina Simons' passion is designing new jewelry. Simons' sources of inspiration are nature, geometric shapes and everyday objects. Her design is clean-lined, yet lush, finished with a graphic touch. The three-dimensionality of the jewelry also allows light and shadow to play freely.
Lina Simons' design is based on hand-drawn sketches, which bring a personal and human dimension to jewelry. They illustrate how the look of the jewelry develops as the creative process progresses.
Lina Simons' design philosophy combines beauty, durability and usability. "High-quality jewelry can be recognized by the fact that it can be restored and polished over and over again - this way it can be passed on from one generation to the next, which I think is a wonderful idea. Designing timeless jewelry is my great love, and seeing it on someone is my greatest reward ,” says Simons.
"In addition to creating beautiful jewelry, I strive to make each design visually intriguing—pieces that captivate and inspire the desire to wear them."
