didi suydam contemporary

The ancient ritual of body ornamentation was a form of branding and defined cultural identity. It signified tribes, clans, royalty, religion and status.

Wearing jewelry is a personal and intimate expression of who we are, and what we identify with.

My pieces become personal icons and expressions of inner strength.

Inspired by ancient culture and architecture, I seek the essence of form: the spirit, the balance, and the elemental .

My pieces echo the past yet are minimal, modern, contemporary.
