Paper has been used as a jewelry making material for many many years before it eventually became mainstream. The most common techniques used in popular paper jewelry are Quilling, origami, paper machie and structural stacking. I thought what if I dont a technique that doesnt mimic any of these styles but remain truly unique. During my research for the collection, I came across many ways of layering paper, using inks, foil, glue and resin and decide to combine all of them to create a line – Paprika. Inspired by paprika a very popular chilli like spice, this collection intends to add a dose of fun to your wardrobe. Here are the first few designs, the bib necklaces of Paprika and I hope that you’ll like them.
