Porcelain meets precious metal

Whether filigree pastel earrings or necklaces with delicate, threaded porcelain elements: Platinum and silver frame, support and protect the fragile porcelain beauties. Goldsmith Elke Pfleiderer explores the potential of porcelain production for her jewellery designs in an aesthetically convincing manner. Her path, from the initial idea to the finished piece of jewellery, resembles, according to her, "a long journey on which much that is planned happens, but also the unpredictable".
