I am awed by the designer's captivating method of embedding diamonds in reverse and the deliberate randomised scattering across designs in multiples or individually. With these inverted settings the diamonds captures the reflection of light in a succession of broad flashes from oblique angles, creating a feeling of serene twilight or in contrast, a gathering storm in the night's sky.
Pownell uses the contrast of light and dark metals in concoction with diamonds conjures a sense of unpredictability and mystery. I am fascinated by the way the inverted diamonds emerges from the metal as if naturally occurring.
If jewellery was an organic material in nature, then Todd Pownell's designs are exactly how I would imagine it would be.
