Security!™
Posted in: Uncategorized Keep safe with a loss prevention tag in gold
Just released by art director Justin Gignac, Security!™ is an 18k-gold-plated sterling silver version of plastic security tags stores put on clothes to prevent theft. The piece, meant to be worn as a pin, stems from the NYC-based artist’s idea (he’s also behind the popular campaign Needs for Sale) of elevating mundane and overlooked items in our everyday lives.
As a perfectly banal example, Justin explains the security tag “is one of those things that I’ve ignored for years. What better way to call attention to it then make it gold and throw some diamonds on it.” Paired with the skills of talented jewelry designer Max Steiner the two worked quickly to produced a finished item in time for the holidays. Available with ($700) or without diamonds ($550), get Security!™ either from the online store or at brick-and-mortar shop Reed space.

Replica
Posted in: Uncategorized Wrist watch-inspired jewelry from Swedish goldsmith Göran Kling
A mix of conceptual design and traditional craftsmanship, Swedish designer Göran Kling recently released his first commercial collection, Replica.
In an “homage to exclusive wrist watches, Swiss craft skills and cheap knock-offs,” Kling integrates the intricate detailing and fine metalwork of classic timepieces into effortlessly sophisticated bracelets.
The recent graduate of Konstfack College of Art and Design applies his studies to his background as a goldsmith for a collection that shows a strong appreciation for the sentimental value of jewelry and a talent for modern design.
Many of the pieces in the new collection play on the standard wristwatch build, with an artistic pendant replacing the clock. Some pieces clearly herald standard watches while others interpret the pattern more liberally, with multiple bands or textured metal pieces in place of the watch face.
You can get the easily wearable and innovative designs by contacting Göran directly, with prices typically set around €300 per piece.
