Jewellery deserves that same consideration: recognition of the artistry, imagination and skilled hands that bring it into being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this work, I bring together precious and semiprecious materials, incorporating ants and rutilated quartz as a nod to wattle. These elements invite a closer look at what we notice, what we overlook and what we choose to value.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI don’t always get it right. Sometimes I finish a piece and feel I’ve hit the mark; other times, it hasn’t become what I imagined. Both are part of the creative process. Each attempt teaches me something and opens up possibilities for the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Hearts Over Carats, I celebrate the value we create through making. Material is a starting point. Through curiosity, play and craftsmanship, it becomes something expressive, unexpected and worthy of attention. The preciousness lies as much in that transformation as in the finished piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shauna Mayben","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67523916038434,"sku":null,"price":2900.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/9723\/1650\/files\/WhatWeHoldprecious_ShaunaMayben.jpg?v=1791972600","url":"https:\/\/www.findcollective.com.au\/products\/what-we-hold-precious","provider":"FIND Contemporary Jewellery Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
