The Design
About Marilyn Smykkesæt
Marilyn er et smykkesæt fremstillet af genanvendt, ubelagt 925 sølv. Sættet består af en halskæde, et armbånd og øreringe. De flydende former udtrykker krøller og vind ved stranden. Hvert stykke er formet ved voksudsmeltningsstøbning og traditionelle guldsmedeteknikker og er efterbehandlet med en nålemat overflade. Halskædens dele er forbundet i afbalancerede punkter, så sættet følger bærerens bevægelser. Armbåndet følger håndleddets form, og øreringene er lette og buer sig tæt ind mod ansigtet. Sættet passer til formelle og halvformelle begivenheder. Produktionen finder sted i Sonkajärvi, Finland.
