The stem of the gourd unscrews and reveals a gold wand for eyeliner application.Īmong her popular flower wreath necklaces is a 60-inch composition of tourmaline flowers - all hand-carved by an artist in Idar Oberstein, Germany - and completed with handmade gold stamens. Another important piece is an 18K yellow gold Make-up pendant fashioned in the shape of a gourd adorned with flowers and vines. A favourite all-gold piece is a 22K double-layer Mystic cuff with delicate imprints and laser-cut elements, covering an entire four-inch wide outer layer, while the inner layer forms a smooth wrist-hugging surface. The variety of form and intricate designs that Koven brings to each collection clearly positions her as a creator of ‘wearable works of art’. Her flexible floral necklaces composed of exquisite gemstone flower carvings are designed to wrap around the neck with stylish flair. Yet she is equally comfortable creating delicate styles. She works fearlessly with gold, creating her own alloys that give her jewellery a distinctive appeal.
