REVIVRE RING, Concrete-Nickel. Nickel-plated concrete and brass ring shank.
DECADENCE – Collection 05 – by GALA curios (AU), a jewellery and accessories label by designer Jasmine Noir.
DECADENCE draws aesthetically on ruinous cities – landscapes which have been developed and then abandoned by humans, and overgrown once again by nature. Contrasting sharp geometry with organic, ornamental detail, the collection miniaturises the cycle of life, death and the beauty of decay.

22Design Studio (Taiwan) created a series of rings which were inspired by architectural design and urban style, made from cement and stainless steel. Smooth, cool concrete texture and various shapes of these rings emit calm yet inspiring design by the two young designers from Taiwan. (22 Design Studio was founded by Sean Yu and Yi-ting Cheng in 2005. The main mission of 22 Design Studio is to operate self-owned label 22™. The collection of 22™ presents series of personal accessories made of cement and metal)

« Dans un monde dominé par le désir de plaire, la séduction peut parfois être ressentie comme une obligation à laquelle l’on aimerait pouvoir se soustraire.
Ce collier à clous a donc été spécialement conçu pour les esprits indépendants, les solitaires heureux et pour toutes les personnes qui ne souhaitent tout simplement pas faire de rencontres.
Il envoie un message clair et fort pour dire «Ne m’approchez pas». Idéal pour les soirées pesantes, il est particulièrement indiqué lors de rendez-vous ennuyeux et convient également lors d’une rupture amoureuse. »
