The image of beauty

Since at least the Roman empire, but likely far before that, our beauty ideals have been a shifting thing that keeps on changing. But one part seems to be solid; symmetry is important. It looks like this is the one part in beauty we keep looking for, and to me, this seems pretty ridiculous. So I started exaggerating these ideals with conceptual jewelry, whilst at the same time showing the beauty that can be seen in asymmetry.
