Siru Jewellery
Infuse

In my diploma work I explore sustainable product design in my diploma work and investigate how ecology could best be realised in the work of a handicraft designer.
The production part of my diploma work consists of jewellery made of recycled material. The Siru Jewellery combines broken ceramics with junk silver. I have tried to take into consideration the ecological qualities of a piece of jewellery during every stage of its life cycle and to create a product as environmentally responsible as possible.
Through my work I want to suggest a new kind of attitude toward broken, useless items. What if waste wasn’t always considered ugly and filthy? Could it sometimes be so beautiful that it could be used as jewellery?

Biography

I have studied both ceramic and glass design and industrial design at the University. My specialisation is ecological product design, because I believe that designers should understand the environmental impacts of their products.
