It’s been a while since we delved into the world of plastic jewelry, mostly because we haven’t seen so many of those gumball machines where you can buy rings and trinkets for a quarter since we left home for the big city.
But we are awestruck by Patricia Von Musulin’s amazing clear lucite jewelry. The cuff bracelets, in particular, are breathtaking sculptural objects. The seeming heftiness and large scale of the pieces are balanced by their weightless transparency.
We’re not sure if you’d be able to type while you were wearing one of these cuffs, but that’s OK because like all great things, they’re really better suited for a surrealist-inspired dressed-up night out on the town.
