As a jeweler, I am committed to allowing the interactive combination of jewelry to demonstrate the playability of the object itself. Dynamic objects always attract my attention more than static ones, and interactivity engages a viewer in a novel experience, one that holds their attention for extra seconds. In my practice, I often alternate between static and dynamic conditions in a piece of jewelry to encourage playability.

Playtime is a product with and without rules. It is a set, containing a sample plate with instructions, scattered parts, and polishing tools. Much like a collection of Lego bricks, this piece intends for jewelry to animate two states at the same time: the dynamic (the process) and static(the finished product).
