Canadian designer Arielle de Pinto, noted for her modern approach to traditional craft, delivers uninhibited handcrocheted jewelry that is both raw and voluptuous. Transforming silver and vermeil chain into complex pattern and weaves, de Pinto creates tactile pieces that are simple to wear, exuding luster and spontaneity.
Her treatment of metal as fiber demands constant physical struggle yet yields visually delicate and supple pieces. Though precision and form are essential, Arielle adopts a consciously unrefined approach in finishing each piece, always exposing a few chain "threads". An integration of opposites, de Pintos vision of modern finery is both precious and organic
