Innovative adornments crafted from lab-grown crystals and reclaimed materials
Sofie Boons explores experimental processes using biopolymers, scent, lab-grown minerals and waste by-products - transforming scientific research into compelling material narratives.
Neo-gemstones® is a research initiative by Dr Sofie Boons that investigates the alchemical potential of lab-grown crystals and related technologies. By developing novel crystal materials and creatively applying crystal growth processes, the outcomes challenge conventional narratives surrounding authenticity, value, and materiality in contemporary jewellery.
