There is nothing dull about the Eddie Borgo Spring/Summer 2011 line of cutting-edge jewelry for men. Borgo gives street-cred to men’s accessories by incorporating grunge and punk iconography such as studs and the Anarchy sign to his creations. The line includes necklaces, bracelets, rings, tie clips and cufflinks.
If you thought costume jewelry couldn’t be masculine, think again. Danger is the main theme for many of Borgo’s collections, and this time he chose to use aggressive objects such as thunderbolts, circular saws, exactos and razor blades in his jewelry. The most notable piece is a thick cuff made out of intersecting silver exacto blades. Another highlight is the 'penny poison ring' which has a hidden compartment.
There is no doubt about it, Eddie Borgo’s pieces will make any man look sharp!
