The Paola Mirai Cirkuita Jewellery Collection Turns Junk Into Jewels

— May 10, 2011 — Fashion
The next time you hit the town, drape yourself in jewels of junk.

You heard me right. Designer Paola Mirai's 'Cirkuita' collection transforms technological trash into trendy treasures. Mirai finds bits (and bytes) of beauty in old computer systems, gutting their insides for stylish circuit boards and handsome hard drives. Mirai finds beauty in the often aesthetically ignored computer carcass, searching through the circuits for gems and jewels. Once she clicks with a bit, it is set in an ultralight plastic-like material that Mirai developed herself called orotrasparente. The resulting pieces are dazzling and modern, putting a technological twist on traditional jewelry.

Paola Mirai's Cirkuita jewelry makes computer components couture. She proves that what some may deem junk, can be transformed into jewels.
