Range of jewels “petroleum”

Nowadays the use of oil is overwhelming, our frenzied consumption of its remaining stockroom compels us to a tough choice to come.

Paradoxically it is not a renewable resource on a human scale. This energy belongs to our offspring as a heritage, therefore we must protect it.

Jewels allow the fusion of two ideas: the precious stone and the priceless liquid. The jewel is linked with the heritage notion. The purpose consists of triggering reflection on using this precious matter already called “black gold”.
