Karin Beaumont
Karin Beaumont was inspired to make jewellery by having seen the beauty of microscopic life while undertaking her PhD in Antarctica. She recognised as a scientist that she was privileged to appreciate these unique forms and wanted to share the beauty and importance of these creatures with others.
