Polar Pendant
Inspired by the simple yet beautiful form of a dinoflagellate (Polarella glacialis) cyst. This dinoflagellate develops and lives in the brine channels of the sea-ice of Antarctica. During ice-melt in summer the cells encyst and are released into the water. The cysts remain in the water until autumn when they are incorporated into newly formed sea-ice and begin their lifecycle yet again.

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.
