Fairien
The obvious purpose of storytelling is to tell a story. When there is no such thing - it is quite a difficult matter. And I can’t relate the birth of the Fairien to a specific story. Ever since I started making and painting jewelry, there has been no question that I also make ones that depict a horse in some way. The love of horses is one of the core values of my life. If there is no horse, no donkey can help it.
This attraction was born with me. Oddly enough, I only rode a horse for the first time when I was 14 years old. Especially nowadays when children ride from the age of 2 or 3. But even since our first meeting took so long, my attachment has developed in several ways. As a child, for example, I liked to wear riding breeches, which I bought from the money I earned from making jewelry. My mother tolerated my strange fashion-fad, but she didn't quite understand it. Why do I have to wear riding breeches, especially in school? And I couldn't really explain it to her.
Then it finally happened. I sat on a horse - and I didn’t want to get off it for a few years. Not so much that I joined a riding community and from then on, riding itself and caring for horses defined my daily routine. It was a nice period, I also met the love of my life here. Then I moved on, but my passion for horses remained.
When I make jewelry, I always have the idea that I’m not just making this into the blind world. I dedicate this piece of jewelry to someone. Not to a specific person, but to someone who will identify with that piece. For someone whose personality matches the jewelry. Who will try on the jewelry and he knows herself in it.
Fairien's made for lovers of freedom. For women who can’t be restrained. In many relationships, it is observed that either one or both parties try to own the other. It’s like confusing love with ownership. This is out of the question for women who feel Fairien jewelry is their own. A man can love such a woman if he admires them. When you love someone like that, it’s so special that you don’t even try to own it. True love is not caging, but giving ourselves to someone.
I love horses. I love their guarantee as well as their heavy nature and unbreakability. I love their humility just as much as their pride. Their insisting nature as well as their independence. But what I like the most about them is that you can only make them your partner as long as you leave them free. If you lock them up and break them, you will also kill their souls. What remains in the end is perhaps a servant and looks just like a horse - but the point that made a man once fall in love with a horse is long gone. The paradox of Fairien women is the same: make them feel free and they will cling to you.
