In which ways if any, do you reckon your rich cultural background could be perceived, perhaps unconsciously, in your intimate and suggestive jewellery?
H.E.O.: I am never sure what to say about this, I suppose the one thing that you get when you grow up with a mixed background is that it opens a few multiple viewpoints on things, even in how you think
