About the mourning jewellery collection:
“The modern way of living focuses mainly on success, often forgetting to pay attention to the deeper meanings in life. Mourning is one of them, the western world sees it as a personal process which you could and should be able get trough yourself. People should pay more attention to these very important moments in life and take their time. Not just for themselves but also for a meaningful environment. “
