Working on some watercolors, new ideas, and a cros

Working on some watercolors, new ideas, and a cross restock here in a Latin American town aptly named Las Cruces. I couldn’t have dreamt up a better place in which to finish up these works. This little rose gold batch headed to @abccarpetandhome has no doubt absorbed the beauty, symmetry, and magic of this dusky overcast seaside. I’m very close to getting these exquisite new works to you. #rimajewels #abccarpetandhome

RIMA ROMAN LOVE KEY RINGS come in two sizes. Small

RIMA ROMAN LOVE KEY RINGS come in two sizes. Small for petite hands or to wear on your smallest digit. Large features the same stately proportions as the other rings in this collection and looks fetching on any finger. These rings are all about grand gestures but I’m mindful that some women have truly teeny dainty hands so I modified my must have LOVE ring for you so that it’s still large but in the right proportions. Inquire about your size and request with or without pavé. Kiss kiss— #rimajewels #rimaromanrings #love #truelove

Diamond pavé Roman LOVE Key Ring by RIMA JEWELS.

Diamond pavé Roman LOVE Key Ring by RIMA JEWELS. Wealthy Romans wore functional keys made of bronze on their fingers to lock and unlock the private coffers safeguarding their valuables. Onlookers found this so sexy that they too acquired key rings though they didn’t necessarily correspond to a coffer, chest, or door. This is fashion. I bring you these keys because I have lots more to reveal around this theme and phenomenon. For now understand that these keys do in fact correspond to something —something far more ethereal that if pursued with consummate care, from beginning and to no end, will barrel towards eternity. #love #truelove #rimajewels #rimaromankeyrings

“I make jewels that oftentimes exhibit elements

“I make jewels that oftentimes exhibit elements of the uncanny. Despite rationalist judgement one can recognize magic when one sees it and I like to tease out its secrets in my work by by paying close attention to form and deepening my investigations of materiality. I like to know how all materials behave, even when I'm not looking. This skeleton earring -alongside Pestilence: the fly stud earring- create a dialogue not only with one another but with a longstanding tradition of memento mori and vanitas painting and jewelsmithing. These themes have maintained my curiosity for many years and the obsession has led me to create these objects as indexical assertions within this field. I have others and will make others still. I think of them as uncanny because of the off-kilter realism captured in these works. There is a precious balance of naked amateur effort and innate skill on display in the care that went into fabricating the skeleton. These elements coalesce into a piece whose minuscule movements startlingly and satisfyingly mimic our own and no doubt animate that invisible spirit within.”

-Me gathering my thoughts and drafting a statement on my artistic impulses for the occasion of my participation in the highly memorable exhibit FORGET THEM at the BROOKLYN METAL WORKS GALLERY back in 2016. @brooklynmetalworks ✨ An exhibition inspired by a quote from the only surviving poem by Lucretius (c. 99 – c. 55 BCE) – On the Nature of Things.
“There are no angels, demons, or ghosts. Immaterial spirits of any kind do not exist….Forget them.”
