The Cuboid Jewelry Collection plays with the illusion of two dimensional drawings. Inspired by geometric shapes such as the cube and rectangular prism, each piece is described as a "wearable symbol of dimension and proportion," by the designers.
Comprised of eight necklaces, the Cuboid Jewelry Collection was handmade in London, England, by Emma Simone Madden and Luke Shimell of Shimell and Madden. Fashioned out of sterling silver that is either gold-plated or oxidized, the necklaces are sophisticated and simple while also stylish and funky.
The promotional images further accentuated the lines of the Cuboid Jewelry Collection. The accessory pieces have been placed against styrofoam spheres to perpetuate the geometric theme while also adding another dimension to them. Each one makes a statement.
