Tastbare Ontspanning (Tangible Relaxation)

Tastbare Ontspanning is a project in which I looked for an answer to the question: How can I create peace through jewelry design?

My starting point for this project was satisfying slime, and something to hold on to, for example, loved ones.
So in my hypothesis I stated that my shapes should also look like slime. In the end this was not the case because it produced a futuristic form.

Eventually I found the answer I searched in natural forms; the appearance of natural cut stones and water.
The aspects associated with creating tranquility through a piece of jewelry are a careful balance between: size, weight, color, texture and shape.

To create an extra dimension in this project I also researched aspects of ‘touch’ such as:

Reflexology: gave me reason to place jewelry on the hands
Massage: addition of relief on the inside of hand jewelry.

Certain gemstones with a medicinal effect:

Amber> Stomach | Blue gold stone> Brain | Hawks eye> Eyes
Rose quartz> Entire Body
