A Jewelry Designer for Dorsa Luxury Goods & Jewelry, Shirin is also a freelance designer for Kouben Jewelry and owner of the Shirin Jewelry Brand. Regarding her IGI Expressions™ honor, Shirin says.
Working with IGI was a fantastic experience because I was able to create earrings that were inspired by nature.
Shirin believes we were all made in nature so that we might have the most beautiful representations of nature, and nothing compares to creativity in demonstrating personal desire for beauty. To that end, she believes, the best approach in jewelry design is to connect with the planet.
