The see ability to invent and create symbols is one among the features that distinguish humankind from the other species that share our world, and jewelery was one of its first manifestations. In essence, social beings, humans have always needed to create symbolic codes, both verbal and visual, to express themselves and communicate with others.

Lover's Eye Jewelry originated from George's micro-carvings, originally painted on the carved ivory to draw a watercolour painting of a spouse, lover or child's eye.

Everything is intimate and extremely precious: the eyes are painted on ivory pieces smaller than the little fingernails, and then inlaid on gold ornaments, these ornaments can be stuffed into the pockets, or the needles are close to the heart.

By observing this small portrait, the wearer can "think of someone's face." These paintings act as a substitute for kissing, being pressed against the chest and talking to them when they are missing.

Christina Bothwell, born in the United States in 1960, is an artist who uses glass and clay to make sculptures. Glass is an ordinary item that can be seen everywhere in our lives, such as the window on the high-rise building. Every morning, I wake up to brush my teeth and wash my face. People’s sense of presence in a glass is getting lower and lower, but it is because it keeps you from being surrounded by reinforced concrete in the building. It allows you to bathe in the warm sunshine and see the beautiful view.
Christina Bothwell sees the unique sparkle of this ubiquitous material and uses it to be transparent to express the inner being of the human being - the soul. She said: "In my work, I am full of my views on birth, death and rebirth. I have a strong interest in the invisible "inner" of everything I see in life. I try to express it. So I chose the transparent material of glass because it can do what other sculpture materials can do, and also has the internal space and integration of light that other sculpture materials do not have.“
