Ear protector earrings

Lena — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 06:50:42 GMT

The earrings are inspired by the curve shape of the ear and bringing a surprise element to earring design. When worn attached to the ear, the earring protects the ear and uses the earlobe to both secure the earring and intergrates the shape of the earlobe into the design so that the ear is truly a intergal part of the earring, not just a passive decoration. When worn passively - on a hook, the earring can be hang in four different directions. This entry plays with the layering effect of the materials, the subtle change in color gives the impression of strong shape and 3D effect.

This design takes the idea of a pair of earrings into a new level. The earrings are no longer passive decorations, they became a statement and an extension of your personality. This simply designed “earring” takes the idea of an elf/animal ear and uses simply laser cut layers to bring earrings into an edgy new definition. The design is for 1 pair of earrings. You will love it!

Mermaid Necklace

Lena — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 06:50:41 GMT

This necklace was inspired by the patterns found on fish scales. I believe jewelry has the power to change and challenge the way we see our bodies. In this design, the way we see the wearer ‘s neck is transformed through the jewelry into a sea creature, a mermaid. The design emphasis the gradual increase in scale sizes in fish, thus transforming 2D elements into a 3D design.
