About Belle Brooke Barer
The circle is a universal symbol of flow, life force, and interconnection. A circle is the beginning and the end, the empty and the full, it is everything and it is nothing-ness, it never ends, and it never begins. So much of life is a circle, the Earth and the planets, the sun, the moon, the universe, tiny particles, a drop of water, a floating bubble. Each piece embodies the essence of this concept using a signature circular filigree matrix that I created and have been refining since 2005. Using color and contrast in the metals, negative space, gemstones and diamonds, each piece engages us in this reality.
