Beton material hökmünde ulanylýar, sebäbi ol ýeňil, allergiýa döretmeýän we aňsat döwülmeýän materialdyr. Her bir bölek üç ölçegli çyzgy hökmünde başlanýar, soňra prototipler we guýmak üçin silikon galyplar taýýarlanýar. Taýýar bolan beton bölekleri soňra kümüş we deri bilen birleşdirilýär.

Unique Properties: This design is wearable architecture. Concrete material and brutalist design with the story behind makes these accessories more than wearable - it's an educational, fashionable manifesto about architectural heritage and society.
Dimensions & Packaging: Necklaces approx.17.5 cm x 15.5 cm and other 18x11 thickness 0.5- 1 cm. Earrings 4x2 cm concrete detail and optional 5-9 cm silver wire long. Other earrings 14.5x2 cm.
Tags: concrete jewelry, architectural jewelry, eastern european, blockhouses, brutalist jewelry, soviet architecture, brutalist architecture, jewelry artist, jewelry designer,
Production Technology: I chose concrete material - light, non-allergenic, and less fragile to create an ode of a brutalist dystopia. First of all, I designed 3d drawings, made prototypes, and then, started to create molds for concrete details with silicon. When the concrete pieces were finished, I started metalworking with silver and leather materials.
Design Challenge: To find a form, which would be understandable, that it's blockhouse jewelry, but minimalist, aesthetic and impressive.
Research: I made monitoring of the architecture and society attitude of Eastern European houses. My objective was to find a way, how to talk about post-Soviet society and Eastern European architecture heritage in fashion accessories. The main point is to start a discussion with locals' minds about this unique architecture and spread this wearable message. In this collection, I question people’s attitudes towards Soviet heritage and invite you to take a fresh look at Soviet architecture and society's illusions.
Inspiration: The collection was inspired by Eastern European panel blockhouses as an iconic modern community symbol. Shapes of panel buildings and us - people, who live in individuality fiction, because the truth is that only a few centimeters between the walls separate us and our individuality is just fiction in this world.
Project Duration: This project started as an idea 2018 but I finished this collection 2020.
Operation Flow: Wearable jewelry made of concrete. Light, strong, and non - allergic material make jewelry more comfortable and wearable. This technology and design give a chance to wear architecture in real form and material as a piece of jewelry.
Team Members: Designer and artist Gerda Liudvinaviciute (artist name CELSIUS 273).
