l’AMBRE en beauté avec Janis Jakobson
Janis Jakobson - fabulous amber rings …. discovered thanks to the blog YES ! 
« The light weight and translucent quality of amber is contrasted with the historical and geographical struggles that have occurred around it over the centuries. Baltic amber was one of the luxury goods traded along the Silk Road.
Important and highly symbolic, amber is associated with protection and the assurance to the wearer of an amulet, of long and happy life.
From the earliest amber carvers comes the principle that objects created out of this substance should be held in great respect, that the material’s natural attributes should be enhanced in the creation process. This jewelry follows that ancient principle.
Re-imagining and reinterpreting historical forms and values are central to this work in jewelry. These singular works of art are meant to confront the boundaries of body sculpture and adornment, fusing both into reliquaries for their materials of creation. » Janis Jakobson
