I think its hard to come up with new concepts in jewellery that are both stylish and wearable. Thanks to @christydena on Twitter, I came across Stolen Jewels, a jewellery concept that does this successfully.
As MikeandMaaike tell us, Stolen Jewels explores the tangible and the virtual (it is thus a mixed reality concept) in relation to the production of value. The artists googled the world's most famous and expensive jewellery, appropriated low-res images of these objects, and then reproduced them by printing and scoring on leather. The results are stunning, with forms that hark back to the age of low-res computer displays and chunky pixellated space invaders (the brooch above for instance).
These postmodern jewellery works can be found at Velvet Da Vinci, where many other exquisite jewellery pieces may be found. Aren't they a joyful mashup of tradition and innovation, hand crafted skill and digital rip-off, early computing and the era of Google?
