Unique Custom Made Body Jewelry by Frida
Frida was born in Sweden in 1977 and moved to London in '94 where she discovered an insatiable passion for design. After an interior design course and a short stint in apparel design, she knew her heart lay in the domain of jewellery. “Custom made body jewelry is an often-neglected but extremely powerful and visible tool of personal expression. I have found immense satisfaction in working with innovative materials and unique designs to enable a given personality to voice her essence through this medium. For example, I transformed an old rusted brass key for a Victorian travel suitcase into a pendant for a young woman whose adventurous life was about to enter uncharted territory. The piece symbolised excitement and curiosity, the opening of new doors.” Frida believes a woman's torso has indescribable intrinsic beauty; her pieces accentuate and adorn this vantage point. “The slender sinuous curve of the neck garlanded with bold unpolished silver- it can be intoxicating!” She has a passion for life's mysteries; she has travelled extensively and has a fond interest in the ancient world. Her affable nature blends easily into any new environment, thus allowing rare insights into a myriad of cultures. She draws on these diverse influences to infuse her work. Her portfolio encompasses a wide range of materials- plaited leather, copper, antique silver, semi-precious stones, as well as unique objects found during her travels through dusty markets. Frida currently lives in Cape Town, South Africa, where she founded “Flashing the Family Jewels”, a charity that brings sanitation awareness into townships.
