What was your first piece of jewellery?
Ever since being a little girl I loved going through my mother and grandmother´s jewellery boxes. It was just magical to me trying on the bracelets, brooches and clip on earrings.
My dad traveled a lot when I grew up. He would always bring back small presents from his trips. One of my most grand memories was being given a beautiful ring with small blue enamel butterflies. I adored that piece. At the age of seven or eight my dad gave me a small pendant watch to wear around my neck. I was never prouder. To this day I still have that watch.
If you could own one piece of art, which one would it be? Could be a paiting, sculpture, eveything…
Definitely a large Andy Warhol silk print. For some reason his works have always captured and inspired me. I saw my first Andy Wahol exceptions at Art museum Louisiana in the late 70ties and later again at Basel Art Gallery. I love the rawness of his work and the fact that they for some reason never seem to go out of style.
What is the most valuable thing in your life?
Honesty! It might sound kind of a cliché, but it is none the less true. I need honesty in my life in order to function. Every day I try to be as honest both to myself, my friends and my co-workers as possible, and I expect people to be honest to me in reverse. I takes a lot to be honest but I couldn´t have built my business or any of my friendships without honesty. It is as simple as that.
