Lucy Sarneel considers a jewel as an object with a high concentration of focus and energy, as "slow art" in a "fast world".  

Her jewels arise from the field of tension between the inspiring past and the untouchable present that is created by traditions and spiritual and symbolic values.

In an increasingly commercial world, wherever fewer objects are made in which personal passion plays a role, it is important to Lucy Sarneel that her work holds that deeper strength, reaching further than outward apperanace.
