A few months ago I happily collaborated with this amazing online company called
NOT ANOTHER BILL, which every month carefully selects special and unusual articles by artists from around the globe to send them to its subscribers as a surprise. Together we came up with a twist on ESOTIC jewellery Morse Code bracelets that spell POW.
" What made you start using morse code to plant messages in your jewellery?
As a child I used to spend lots of time at the seaside especially at Isola d’ Elba, an island off the Tuscan coast. I remember my father was learning how to sail and you need to know how to communicate with the Morse Code alphabet when you are out in the water. I was mesmerised by it. It has been with me ever since and I was waiting to incorporate it into my jewellery collection. I always appreciate when something is bespoke and personal, when you can say that what you are wearing is like everybody else’s but, at the same time individual. So I’ve found little precious gold filled beads and tubes and strung them on colourful delicate silk threads writing words and initials using the morse code alphabet to create unique bracelets."

"what piece of jewellery you are never without?"
I’m never without my wedding band which my husband handmade for me (he is not a jeweller). That’s the most precious piece of jewellery I own. I’m also always wearing my black tahitian pearl engagement ring, a flamingo DoDo lucky charm from my mum, the Lady-Monooi rose gold chain from my own label ESOTIC jewellery, which is for me a memento mori and of course a bunch of MorseCode Chakra bracelets.
