U
NECKLACE | 2015
A sphere set in a bend U-shape profile holding it in a floating position and giving the pendant a perfect balance. A minimal piece of jewellery playing on visual codes of strength and fragility. Uh means moon in Mayan.
U and KIN, two complementary necklaces are a contemporary interpretation of the Bola. A Mexican mothers’ traditional spherical pendant with a soft chime sound, meant to soothes and reassures the baby before and after birth. Both pendants keep the accessory’s cultural roots and values, but break away from classical jewellery fixings and explore different ways of creating a both aesthetic yet functional everyday jewellery.
