At first glance, my immediate thoughts abouts this Daniel Zelig 'Elements' collection is that it reminds me of toy chains I used to play with as a kid. In reality, this fabulous collection of necklaces are not tough enough to stand up to children playing, as each piece is made from high-quality, fragile ceramics.
The artist behind the Daniel Zelig Elements collection attends the Industrial Design Department at the Holon Institute of Technology, and just a look at these intricate pieces will make it clear that Daniel Zelig has had professional training. These industrial-inspired pieces are simply stunning.
