Better than diamonds - thoughtful bling by Furnish

in Object Culture

You've seen the ring, now check out the bracelet. These clever, laser-cut gems from Furnish, a Japanese design duo that designs for co-creation with end users, are not only about DIY or having fun with cultural signals, but for us, are about making a social statement.

At first glance, these felt pieces don't seem to have the sparkle that we are accustomed to in jewelry, right? But when you dig deep and do a little research on where bling comes from, these felt alternatives take on a glow all their own.
