Anila's Creative Mind & Concepts

 “For me Jewellery is an item of distinguishing character & reflections of personality: to wear something individual, handmade, designed through sophisticated thought processes – with attention to detail; including considerations towards sourced materials & technical processes; is an approach to articulate & express my passionate interests for creativity.  I love to design & make jewellery styles that are individually unique; &  also express the true essence of my inner self.”

“The concept of ‘Gypsy Rose Jewels: balances and acquaints efficiently a link through ‘The Healing Garden’ concept. Romany Gypsies are prominent for being connected with travelling. Gypsy culture is international & known throughout history as ‘the travelling people’, with an infatuation for ‘alternative’ & ‘clairvoyant’ healing abilities. Known also as ‘ Mysterious Nomads’ and ‘Bohemian’  travellers;  who influenced many cultures worldwide (India, Egypt, Middle East, Romania, Russia, and all over Europe – mainly within Spain’s Flamenco culture of dance).”

The beauty within Gypsy culture for me is acquainted to the travelling experiences in backwoods or country wilds:  a history laced in sentimentalizes and values, inspired through natural resources, ancient wisdom, all passed down from generation to generation, This creates a notion and feeling of nostalgia deep within my soul.

My Work depicts narratives of spiritual and holistic concepts; reflected within my educational research and personal interests. I have adapted this method to unravel ideas intended for storytelling, within my jewellery collections conveying my thought processes aimed at creative disciplines.

My collections not only takes one through a historical journey of holistic and spiritual disciplines…but also integrates very much on the attractive associations connected to the Gypsy travelling culture (Hence the name ‘Gypsy Rose Jewels)’. Each collection portrays thoughts of olden cultures; in forms of holistic healing and spiritual wisdom; linked also with ‘The Healing Garden’ concept.
