Concrete necklaces - Bergnershmidt

Beautiful concrete jewellery - and you can buy it online. Great xmas presents.

When Ludwig Mies van der Rohe proclaimed: „please do not confuse the simple with the simple minded“, he characterized the formal principle of the label BERGNERSCHMIDT. 

The clothes and jewellery are reduced to form to focus on their essence and have been conceived on the basis of the Bauhaus maxim ’less is more’. 
The ’baustoff’ collection combines purist and constructive expression with subtle femininity in the contrasting materials silk, silver and concrete. 
Each piece of jewellery is handmade and therefore has a unique character.

MATERIAL: concrete

COLOUR: grey/black

DIMENSIONS: length 5,5 cm, depth 0,5 cm, ∅ 6,5 cm"

Oh, I'm already in love with these...

Hadash Shaham - concrete jewellery (again)

It seems that creating concrete accessories is not that rare as I tought before. The material is ideal for wearing it all the time due to its durable and strong qualities.

In only two weeks time this is the second link I bump into that features designer rings, necklaces all made of concrete.

Hadash Shaham  designs pieces of contemporary jewelry formed by simple geometric shapes. The  2008 concrete collection is reflective of Hadas' personal style and environmental space combining elements from new and old worlds.

"The concrete collection is based on the combination of old and new, gentle and harsh, hollow and full. It is about opposites and using them to create a whole object, just like dealing with real life. Formally, the collection is inspired by architectural elements around her, created with many items, each used in different subject which she found interesting."

The objects are created with the use of concrete combined with silver or gold and sometimes leather.

Earrings made of concrete - I was just wondering about their weight... but possibly i would risk this for a couple of hours because they look simply gorgeous.

The pieces are not all grey at all. Green, black and white coloured concrete is used widely and also simple (grey) material is combined with gold and silver  which creates a tasteful and fine finish.
