About this work
Metalsmith Carlier Makigawa works with silver, gold and metal alloys to craft jewellery that holds a dynamic and expressive energy. Her rings, bangles, brooches and necklaces are architectural in form yet deeply inspired by structures found in nature. Over the years, her appreciation for beauty, form and material has shaped a body of work that is both technically refined and emotionally resonant. Her jewellery reflects a lifelong exploration of structure, space and the quiet power of the handmade.
