Just sitting on the plane on my way back to London… I just spent a couple of days in New York to have this amazing shoot with Indira Cesarine. I brought all my?favorite big diamond pieces over to show her and making this conceptual media clip – something that you have never seen before with jewels + fish and flowers…

One morning we met at Union Square and we headed to the pet store to get some beautiful fish to take part in the shoot. It was very different to cast these models as most of the fighter fish we wanted to film couldn’t go together, but in the end we had a great selection and Indira’s assistants were happy to look after them when the shoot was over instead of being fish food for Hudson River sharks.

We were shooting all weekend and it was quiet tricky to get these little colorful fish in position as sometimes you felt like a animal tamer, but in the end the blue one even jumped through the tanzanite ring! I was amazed by the skillful technique and color range and fusion of water, fish and the precious metal,……. it looked like 3000 A.D. as I guess that is the only thing that will be left one day…. water covering the earth and remnants of civilization like precious diamond jewels left for the fish to play with. ? The beauty survives…. thank you INDIRA for this outstanding result and memory in pictures and movement!!!!

All of the jewels we photographed and filmed have a special significance… I only make One of a kind pieces, and each one has elements that represent different ideas….While shooting 3000 A.D., we shot the fish in an aquarium, glass bowl, vase and even a martini glass! The amazing color-range of the fish and the changing colors of the light made fantastic images and effects…
