Get Roped Into These Knitted Necklaces From Orly Genger and Jaclyn Mayer!
Posted in: Uncategorized  | What happens when a jewelry designer and a sculptor collaborate? Well, it could create some monstrous and heavy jewelry, or it could create beautiful statement pieces you€™ll cherish forever. For this duo it€™s definitely the latter! Jaclyn Mayer and Orly Genger first paired up to create some jewelry souvenirs for the gift shop of the Indianapolis Museum of Art, where the New York-based Genger was showing an installation consisting of thousands of feet of nylon climbing rope, which the artist had hand-knitted into sculptures. Now they continue to weave and braid industrial climbing ropes and fine chains into spectacular bracelets and necklaces. Designer, Victoria Bartlet was so taken by the pieces she commissioned them to make some pieces for her spring fashion show for her line VPL. The jewelry ranges from $150 to $210 (much more affordable than one of the artist sculptures that€™s shown at the MOMA) and are available at www.jaclynmayer.com. Check out the slideshow to see some of the spring collection. |
