One can see the pleasure he had in designing these pieces.

Felix, more than any other local goldsmith that I am familiar with, was able to create an intimacy between his jewellery and the person that wears it. This is especially evident with the detailed attention given to the inside of his rings. It is like a little secret that is only really enjoyed and appreciated by the person who wears it. 

See an earlier posting for examples of this intimacy.
