i found these over on garance doré‘s blog.  they’re by camille miceli, now doing jewelley for dior, previously of louis vuitton plastic-paper-chains fame (exhibit b):

i’m not so mad about the plastic/paper chains – i like them better on their own than on the models, where they’re very…large.  and a little pre-school for my taste – but i appreciate the recliaming of childish persuits…and the hilarity of paying US$1,050 to indulge them.

these new works for dior, though.  these i love a little bit.  they remind me of coral formations, or rock strata.  you couldn’t wear much else with them, but they’d be pretty stunning, just with the simplest of simple shirts and jeans.  i like jewellery that makes its quiet presence known without needing an elabourate backdrop.

  1. i scrolled past the paper chain necklace and thought, oh how cute, i remember making those as a kid! didnt see the lock closure till i scrolled back up – could not believe it is made by LV! ha. paying that much to wear something like that is indeed hilarious.

  2. i do kind of enjoy that ‘emperor’s new clothes’ element of high fashion, though – i think if an industry is worth that much money you really have to be able to laugh at it sometimes.
