Kirsten Muenster Jewelry Banksia Cuff In Silver

This striking cuff bracelet is bold yet delicate due to its intricately carved open and organic structure. The form was inspired by the pods of the Australian Banksia plant, which has adapted the ability to harness the heat and smoke of fires to help disperse their seeds. The Banksia are reliant on both fire and water, as the follicles only split open to release the seeds after they are burned by fire and then soaked by the rains that follow. These clustered openings, or seed chambers, are visually captivating.
