porcelain hair
This jewelry collection explores the delicate beauty of parian ware, a type of porcelain known for its smooth, marble-like finish.
The collection is a bold experiment in pushing the boundaries of this fragile material, resulting in sleek, ultra-thin forms that challenge the limits of porcelain's strength. The minimalist, geometric designs in pure white parian are juxtaposed with the unexpected texture of artificial hair, creating a striking contrast between the clean rigidity of porcelain and the fluid movement of the hair. Steel elements further enhance the collection's modern, sculptural aesthetic, making each piece a statement of refined elegance with an edge.
