I love Marc Newson, he’s one of my favorite designers. I discovered his creation for Boucheron on Alain Truong’s blog while writing about Helen Mirren’s photograph by Snowdon.

I will not pretend here to understand anything about fractals so besides the Boucheron website, you can read about the creative process here.

the colored crocheted jewelry of studiokarma


Yellow Brown Necklace With Large Crocheted Rings (detail) by StudioKarma.

I am always amazed by the beauty of felt or crocheted jewelry. There are a few extraordinary shops @ Etsy – you regularly find their items on the front page – and StudioKarma is one of those. Her necklaces are simply gorgeous.

They are OOAK, but you can ask for custom items anyway. I found this one below in the sold section, and it is one of my favorites :


Multicolored Nacklace With Various Crocheted Rings.

Japanese Snow Earrings by Giovanna Torrico Bijou.

Just featured on the front page of Etsy, those earrings have an extraordinary architectural quality. You should really check the original photo to fully appreciate their dynamic for the square format I adopted here does not do Giovanna Torrico’s creation fully justice. They are in fact quite long.

Giovanna Torrico works mostly with sequins, she writes :

Vintage sequins have been my signature material since 2000 – suspended on steel wire they provide continous movement while revealing their sculptural and aerial quality. I enjoyed giving form to this year’s geometrical twist made possible by the discovery of a forgotten vintage sequin box in San Francisco. These sequins are a precious and disappearing resource, they were last cut in the 1940’s.

I particularly love the color of these ones :


Felted Vintage Sequin Loop.

And it is quite remarkable that while using vintage material, Giovanna Torrico’s jewelry collection be so totally modern.

I love the poetic feel of that necklace. It sold today, but I am posting it nevertheless because I had planned to and it is simply beautiful.
