With the renewal of the lunar calendar, 2025 ushers in the Year of the Snake - a symbol of wisdom, transformation, and quiet power. For millennia, the serpent has captivated artists and storytellers alike, its form both mystical and enigmatic, an enduring motif in art and culture. To mark this lunar new year, we celebrate the serpent’s timeless allure, reimagined through the lens of contemporary jewellery design.

Few symbols are as universal as the snake. For Robert, whose work is steeped in history and layered with meaning, the snake is a muse that is ancient and wise; fluid, sculptural, and endlessly adaptable.

It is no secret that Robert’s love of creatures runs through his impressive body of original work - his sculptural interpretations honour each creature’s essence while elevating it seamlessly into wearable art. For Robert, there are no limitations - only new ways of reimagining the natural world. Each creation captures the spirit of the creature in his distinctive, stylised form, bearing his unmistakable maker’s mark.

Robert’s fascination with form and texture finds expression in his snake-inspired designs - serpents reimagined in precious metals and gemstones, their natural grace transformed into wearable art.
