The hour hand of this watch is a laser cut opening which reveals a number denoting hour. Debuted at Cïbone Aoyama, Tokyo, on July 7, 2006.

“Don’t play with guns. Don’t do drugs. Instead…Toy Me! Milan designer Georgo Phillip Pecenikov (a.k.a. Gogo) comes from a family of traditional high-end jewelry makers, but he uses his knowledge to create edgy, clean and modern pieces that are a world away from the fru-fru of high fashion. This necklace takes the form of a capsule, cast in silver, plated with rhodium (the most expensive and reflective of the precious metals) and gold, and decorated with a crystal. What makes it extra special is that the capsule can be opened, concealing what? A secret message? A painkiller for emergencies? Whatever “your poison.”

100% silver chain.

I remember seeing this years ago, before BLTD, but I haven’t posted it yet because it wasn’t in production yet. But now it’s now available, in two versions. One version, direct from the designer has a sharp edge and the other version folds out into a less obtrusive type of brass knuckles.

“All watches tell time; the best watches tell a lot about you. The clockmaker designs elegant timepieces that make big, bold statements about the wearer. Driven by the aesthetic principle “when art becomes a timepiece without costing a fortune,” the manufacturer has designed a line of unisex fashion watches that command attention. These designer masterpieces are available to you in a wide assortment of styles and distinctive wrist bands.

The opaque frosted crystal echoes the look and feel of a crisp Nordic winter. Like an elegant skater, the hands carve out time as they sweep across the watch face.

I haven’t gone berserk over a watch in a long time, but this is so simple and cool that I’m sort of verklempt.

If I were to wear a brooch, I think I would wear one of these.

I know, I know, guns aren’t considered the most neutral of topics, but I do like them in earring form.

“These earrings are toy versions of the AK47, a rather famous automatic rifle. Swords to ploughshares? Ironic comment on gun culture? Self defence for earlobes? You decide….”

For would be adulterers, this clever little ring leaves an imprint of “forever yours” on your finger when you remove the ring.

“These slighty suggestive drawings have been taken from Dana’s personal sketchbook (wouldn’t you like to see the rest of that!), printed on translucent white plastic, and set in a closed-back oval bezel.”

I simply cannot believe that I haven’t posted this yet. The ring (in size 7.5 only) has the text from The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri, Canto I of Paradiso, translated by Charles S. Singleton.

…And even as a second ray is wont to issue from the first, and mount upwards again, …thus of her action, infused through the eyes into my imagination, mine was made, and I fixed my eyes on the sun beyond our wont…I did not endure it long, nor so little that I did not see it sparkle… –

I swear I’ve made a bracelet just like this, except it broke and fell off somewhere because I used lesser quality supplies.

“The Endless Necklace is constructed of functional jewelry closures, mimicking the form of the classic pearl necklace but rendered entirely in clasps. This deceptively simple necklace belies its historic influence.”

“The traditional Latin cross is reinterpreted to concentrate on its religious focus. Da Jesus is an outline of the body of Christ during crucifixion instead of focusing on the physical cross itself. The piece is complete when the wearer becomes integrated into the design. Each piece is lost wax casted from a wax pattern made from a silicon mold.”
