XO

Fell in love with this line of minimalistic jewelry by Beijing born Ximao Miao, Derek, who has an eye for the beautifully simplistic.

My favorite, by far, is the paper airplane. I want!!!!

 

Buy them here.

Morse Code Love

Sometimes we scream. Sometimes we write things out. Sometimes we just go on out and say it. Most times we need to be a little more subtle about things.

Check out this gorgeously simple necklace from COATT that says things without being obvious by using Morse Code. This one says Love, but you can always get one that says Dandy, Amore, Swell, Lucky or a custom made one that says whatever you want.

Though subtlety isn’t my specialty, I want one.

Too Much!

‘Mourning Objects’ by Anna Schwamborn is a line of concept jewelry that is made up of your deceased loved one’s hair or ashes.Besides pure hair being used, cremated human ashes are mixed with black bone china, the world´s highest class porcelain. In her own words:

Mourning Objects

Wearable body pieces including human material

The collection of objects contains post-mortem memorial pieces which include aspects of a deceased corpse, namely hair and cremated ashes.

She has worked for Alexander McQueen and Vivianne Westwood, but had definitely gone crazier than both.

I find these to be not only ugly, but also very creepy. They have an erie quality to them and I don’t think anybody I know would like to be immortilized into odd-looking jewelry. This macabre jewelry line is very depressing. Jewelry should make you smile (or drool a little.)

I don’t think even Morticia Adams would be caught dead in these.
