Alba Casares studied Jewellery Design at Central Saint Martins, London where she graduated with honors in 2007. She has since returned to her native Barcelona, Spain where she creates her own line of highly individual collections.Her jewellery might be considered conceptual given that ideas are formulated into wearable art. She has the believe that a piece of jewellery is not finished or completed until worn. Using daily objects and experiences Alba transforms the ordinary into extraordinary,as a contemporary alchemist. In the exhibited collection Alba has created a ritual, a way to measure time and space. By painting a layer of cold enamel every day on a perfect sterling silver circle, Alba produces this delicate and unique pieces of jewellery. By the end of the process, each piece has and age that could be counted in the condensed layers of paint.
