COUP de COEUR ! Jeremy May (UK) – laminated paper jewelry

Jeremy May’s jewelry,  made by laminating hundreds sheets of paper together

PS : il m’a semblé intéressant de vous montrer à la suite ces différents créateurs de bijoux en papier, qui démontrent bien les infinies possibilités offertes par ce matériau !!! matériau que,vous avez pu le constater, j’apprécie tant !

ring ‘Vanity Fair’

 

« Paper is many things : a carrier of text, illustration, history and emotion.
Jeremy May (UK) has captured the beauty of paper via a unique laminating process. Littlefly jewellery is made by laminating hundreds sheets of paper together, then carefully finishing to a high gloss. The paper is selected and carefully removed from a book, and the jewellery re-inserted in the excavated space.
Each piece is impossible to replicate, and is unique to the  wearer. The beauty of the jewels extends within the piece: text and images pass all the way though the object, only exposed at the surfaces – giving a tantalising glimpse of the book within »

COUP de COEUR – BOOK jewelry, by Liz Hamman

Liz Hamman, Paper Jewellery Artist

« Artist when I am not working to pay the bills. I am often accused for not listening, paying attention and concentrating. I have been told many times that I have a `Butterfly Mind`. I dont feel that this is necessarily a bad thing, my mind flits around and plays with all kinds of interesting and hopefully good ideas. Sometimes strange assosciations are made, things are created and fun is had.  »

Sabine Lang (DE) diamond skeleton ring (Ageing time)

« The three ages of life were presented by three pieces of jewellery: three different rings with a stone.
Childhood: A huge, oversized ring made of fabric invites the young to touch it. It’s soft and pillowy, something to play with. For an adult the ring is the size of a bangle and could be worn thus.
Middle age: A great rock crystal shows us luxuriance and vitality. This ring stands for prime of life. The zircon below the rock crystal makes the sparkle and glamour more intensive.
Ageing: At the end there is just the frame left. The skeleton of a ring symbolises the momentariness of our lives and all things. » (Sabine Lang (DE))

COUP de COEUR ! Rosanna Raijevic Ceglar – irregularly patterned knitting wires

… irregularly patterned knitting,  sparkling,  colourfulness ….

« Rosana Raljevič Ceglar (also known as Niiro, her brand’s name) is a jewellery designer located in Slovenia. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, and during her studies she worked and gained experience working at a Murano glass factory, where her job was to create traditional techniques with contemporary design. With a broad knowledge in her pocket she moved back to Slovenia in 2000 and started her own graphic and design studio. On her return she started experimenting with knitting wires in order to create jewellery pieces; what inspired her was the nature around her, the organic structures and the micro-cosmos within each piece of nature she could find. This is how her first collection named ‘Entangled’ started coming together. Her work soon evolved into using more and more irregular shapes, the applied techniques improved and gave her the possibility to develop something never seen in jewellery design. “My enthusiasm about the fact that you can create jewellery statement pieces by using a very irregular and random looking knitting process to create pieces which seem so perfect and neat, just as nature itself,” she tells NJAL. Rosana’s tells us that even though we live in a chaotic world, nature’s perfection is the solution and no matter how simple the things you work with are, in every piece of nature there is a en enormous potential. » (« Not Just a Label » interview)

« Not only the design, but also the structure is inspired by natural forms and textures, which gives the jewellery an impression of a tidy chaos. The supple copper wire maintains the form and imbues the pieces with a sophisticated extravagance « 

 

COUP de COEUR ! pour une ….. Sou Brette !

« Sou Brette was conceived in 2005 by Muqliza Imroni, in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Inspirations for Sou Brette grow out of everything and find their way into Muqliza’s senses. What she sees, hears, feels, and touches are then translated into an intimate yet tangible recognition of these abstract reverie.
She believes a piece of jewellery is timeless and protean. Whether the person is just starting to bloom or getting along in years, going for lunch with friends or out to an evening dance, a piece of jewellery will find its way in.
Currently 24 years of age, Muqliza has been working independently and collectively in a multitude of media: fashion, illustration, textile, to name a few. Despite this collection of interests, her distinctively bizarre, eclectic, and self-indulgent touches have been consistently evident. »

« Sou Brette’s newest collection, Runic, was inspired by tales of an apocalyptic future. Narratives so destructive that color had become a memory of the past. Most of the materials used in Runic were drawn by that concept: cotton ropes, polished metal, safety pins, and Sou Brette’s staple element, resin.
Runic is meant to symbolize humanity’s desire to make the best out of any situation, to embody the beauty in despair, and to empower the beauty from within. The future is ancient. »
