If you are looking to make a statement with something other than your clothes, I suggest you take a good look at the Ars Metallica jewelry collection. A stunning line of sculptural accessories, they are more like wearable art than anything else.
Designed by Romanian jewelry designer Alina Alamorean, the Ars Metallica collection is currently being exhibited at the Galerie BSL in Paris, France until May 14, 2011.
The Ars Metallica jewelry collection was inspired by everything from art to architecture. With a unique and rebellious aesthetic, each piece would heighten any outfit almost instantaneously.
According to Alamorean, Ars Metallica is "[...] always voluminous: the pieces can be envisaged infinitely larger still, like geometrical and voluptuous objects. I do not want to adorn anyone, I do however aim to inspire a way of thinking, living and breathing.”
