KIKI KUHLMANN
Kiki's jewelry design is characterized by its contemporary understanding of art and by her passion for stones. She is inspired by organic forms in nature, observing the undersea world as well as fascinating details such as flower calyxes, and works them, unconsciously, into her creations. She often sets naturally grown crystals with a brilliant cut gemstone, or she provides an even stronger contrast by placing natural lava found in Santorini next to a diamond.
