SPIRAL

Like locks of golden hair, the Spiral series is the incarnation of Griegst’s bewitching ways with gold. The fluted metal twists and writhes over the skin like a spring coil, sinuously wrapped around the wrist or finger with seductive lightness. Produced since the 1970s, the pieces are Griegst’s ode to antique Roman jewellery, as if seen through a looking glass found at the bottom of the sea.
