A film by Wardenclyffe for Jules Kim of Bijules
This film was made for Diane Pernet's curatorial project at Vicenza Oro.
« If nature is systematic, then there is a calm before the torrents and an unleashing of perfectly normal change. The moving imagery of terrain is pure. Its realness fools an untrained eye as visual effects may trick the sharpest one. The jewelry industry is a well - mapped frontier in search of discovery. The scenes in this film welcome a new generation of raw talent and poise to an unexpected universe. »

Her pioneering designs have made her a favorite of celebrities like Beyonce, Rihanna, Karen O, to name a few.
