Earthbound Alchemy

A highlight exhibition by Sophia Zobel

12/07/24 – 04/08/24 

The Pool Jewelry Collective Amsterdam

Rooted in the earth beneath her feet, Sophia’s work is a journey of excavation, cherishing the contrast between preservation and transformation. 

The absence of gemstones in Dutch soil fuels her quest for unearthed treasures of a different kind, forging connections to land, history, and the ephemeral nature of existence. 

Through her jewellery, Sophia weaves tangible links to forgotten stories, celebrating beauty of resilience in materials weathered by time and circumstance.

By breathing new life into discarded remnants of 17th-century Rummer glass, a vessel once cherished at the dinner table; these jewels now whisper tales of impermanence in their newfound daylight.
